NUMBER 1
THIS COMING EVENT CASTS SOME SHADOW
Cruel Truth Must Be Told If It Does Cause Heart-Burns
EXAMINATION SCHEDULE OUT.
Undergraduate Reign of Terror to Begin Week From Saturday And End Friday Following.
It's cruel and all that but it must be done. No matter if students are just back from a beautiful enforced holiday season, full of thoughts about coasting and skeeing and skating, it must be done. The truth must not be crushed to earth.
The schedule for examinations is out.
Horned hippogriffs and dreadful dinosaurs! Great globs of gloom! January 27 they begin, on a Saturday it is; Friday morning, February 2 they end.
Some grashing and weeping of teeth will be forestalled, some, that is, if students of the College who find after studying the schedule that they have more than two examinations in one day will notify at once the Dean of the College.

"BOIL DRINKING WATER FOR SAFETY," SAYS YOUNG
"Boil the drinking water," is the warning given out at the office of Prof. E. H. S. Bailey, head of the Chemistry department, this morning." The twenty-four ground wells from which the water supply is taken are insufficient and in order to meet the demand, it is necessary to pump the river water into the mains.
The river water is being sterilized with hypochlorite of calcium in such small quantities as to be harmless.
"They'll be tickled when they see who 'tis."
HIGH SCHOOL NEWS TO BE A FEATURE
Daily Kansan Will Have a Correspondent in Secondary Schools.
A department of high-school news will be one of the features of the Daily Kansan beginning next week. Correspondents have been secured in many of the high schools of the state and it is expected that most of the schools accredited by the University will be represented.
The Daily Kansan will go to all the high schools in the state. It will thus become the clearing house for general high-school news. It will keep the University informed on the important events at the sources from which come the great majority of its students.
In a few days announcement will be made of three cash prizes to be given to the school correspondents doing the best work.

Angeles, Cal.
The United States government is taking steps to make citric acid from lemons and do away with the waste in the lemon industry at present. Herbert S. Bailey, '02, who is employed in the department of agriculture at Washington, has been sent to Los Angeles, Cal., to start a plant to make the acid. This will be the first plant of its kind in this country.
Bailey is spending a few days with his parents Professor and Mrs. E. H. S. Bailey. He is secretary of the Washington Chemical Association and secretary of the University of Kansas Club of Washington. Bailey will speak to the Engineering society tonight.

Then they sent a telegram full of heartbreak, but breathing a faint hope that by the end of this week they would be delivered.
Same Tuesday.
Same Wednesday.
If the snow and the railroad should remain at loggerheads too long, the University Extension Division will be asked to take care of the absent ones through a correspondence course by telegraph, since there are no mails to Ashland. At the end of the semester Ralph Spotts, traveling representative for the Division, will carry the quiz to Ashland by a bold dash up the Cimmarron river on skates.
THE DUB.
A fine short story of a college man who "would have liked to make good but didn't have it in him."
SENIORS PETITION AGAINST FINALS
Young to Make Address.
C. C. Young, of the department of state water analysis at the University, will speak at the Tenth Annual Convention of the Kansas State Bottlers' Association at Independence, Kas., January 17. Dr. S. J. Crumbine, also will give a talk on the purity of waters.
Don't miss it in Wednesday's Daily Kansan.
Want Faculty to Exempt al "2" Students from Spring Exams.
The Seniors of the College are contemplating petitioning the faculty for a method of exempting them from the spring examinations. The method they advocate is that all seniors who have made a grade of "2" or better during the term's work should be exempt.
The principal argument advanced is that it will have the effect of raising the standard of the class recitations for the term and that, as a whole, better work will be done. Heretofore a scheme for giving examinations to seniors two or three weeks before the end of the spring term, in order that they might not come at a time when they were extremely busy, has been advanced. It is pointed out that this would not be feasible because the seniors would be very likely not to do much work after the mizzes had been given.
The doing away with the examinations has been successfully tried in other schools and the seniors assert that there is no reason why it would not be practical here. Chancellor Strong has already expressed the opinion that, as presented to him, he was entirely in favor of the plan.
Organize Scholarship Society.
Ten senior girls have organized an honorary society, "The Owl and Triangle," to give scholarship its proper place, to help some girls to study more, and to encourage others to take in more of the extra features of college life.
The addition of several hundred names to the subscription list may cause some inconvenience in the routes. If you fail to get your Daily Kansan report to K. U. 25. The circulation department is trying to make prompt delivery of the paper; you can help out by reporting non-delivery.
IN GOOD OLD TIMES IT WENT BY RHYME
Students Taught in Verse but Some of It Limped Perceptibly.
"Textbooks of fifty years ago," was the subject of a chapel talk Tuesday by Prof. U. G. Mitchell of the department of mathematics.
The speaker exhibited a copy of the "Illustrated Poetical Geography" by George Van Waters, published in 1863, to show one of the methods used. The pupils learned the poetry and sang it at the teacher. If the teacher asked a question about some island in the Atlantic the student would recite through about seventeen verses of "Islands" before he came to that particular one.
"There was one advantage in all this," said Professor Mitchell. "The teacher didn't have any trouble with pupils trying to bluff through a recitation. For instance if a professor asked, 'What are islands?' The pupil would rise and answer glibly, 'Islands, upon all, sides, the
oceans found.
"Or if he wanted to know what the earth was, the very precocious pupil would say,
- Islands, upon all sides, the waves surround;
"The earth is but a mighty ball profound,
In rivers, lakes and seas, and
creeps found'
One fourth the surface of this globe is land.
Just five and twenty thousand
Three fourths are water as you understand.
"I can't imagine what the student thought the word 'profound' meant used in this respect, or why the poet should say 'Just five and twenty thousand miles around.' That distance is not correct by at least one hundred miles. Of course we might forgive him on the score of poetic license.
ENTER CRAWFORD AND BROWN, JUNIORS, K. U. 1930.
"The book is made up entirely of poetry, mostly concerning geography, but along towards the end in order to give good measure the poet branches off into arithmetic and here is where the height of his genius is given full sway. It begins with the definition of 'addition.'"
Christmas day brought a son to the home of Prof. and Mrs. C. C. Crawford, but he soon made himself at home and like the University Daily Kansan has come to stay. His name is George Ticknor.
“‘Addition is joining more num-
brium than one.
And putting together the whole ...
And the sum that's produced is called the amount.
Addition's the rule that learns us to count.
"So the work goes on through a number of pages. I look upon this book as a very valuable one because it shows the relic of the time when facts, and facts alone, were instilled into the student's mind, allowing the teacher or text book writer to do all the thinking for him."
Another future K. U. student arrived at Secretary E. E. Brown's house January 3. He has been christened Edward Benjamin. Mr. Brown was not quite certain as to the date of Edward. Jr.'s advent at K. U.
At the University of Nebraska a trophy has been offered for the fraternity which has the highest scholarship standing each year.
"Educational conditions change very much in a few years," he said smilingly.
RECITAL COURSE OPENS
Three More Entertainments to be Given This Winter.
The winter recital course under the auspices of the department of music of the University was opened last Tuesday evening with a piano recital by Myrtle Elvyn.
There will be three more recitals during the course. They are: January 25, joint recital, Walter Keeler, organist, William Willett, baritone; February 8, harp recital by Genevieve Smith; February 29, song recital by Ruth Standish Cady, assisted by Carl Preyer, pianist, and the University trio.
Addressed State Fair Meeting. Charles Younggreen, a junior in the College, went to Topeka Tuesday evening to address a banquet given by the Kansas State Fair Association. Younggreen was the manager of concessions of the fair held at Topeka last fall. His speech was upon "Concessions that pay."
Were in Chicago During Holidays.
Prof. C. G. Dunlap, Prof. E. M.
Hopkins, Prof. C. H. Gray of the
English department , attended a
meeting of the Modern Language
Association at Chicago during the
holidays. Those attending were
guests of the University of Chicago
and the Northwestern University.
<ANSAS MAKING USE OF NEW HOSPITAL
Thirty-four County Cases Sent to Rosedale Since October 23.
Nineteen counties of Kansas have made use of the new hospital at Rosedale since it was opened by the University October 23, at which time the announcement was made that any county in the state could send cases to this state hospital upon proper certification by a physician in the county.
The range of disorders among the thirty-four county cases that have been treated at the hospital is wide, from such comparatively common diseases as appendicitis, paralysis, eczema, and hernia, to cases of more rare occurrence such as rabies, hysteria, morphinism, and pellagra.
Besides these county cases there have been 137 other cases treated at the hospital, and those on the staff have made dispensary visits to the number of 267.
The counties from which cases have thus far been received are: Shawnee, 1; Pratt, 1; Montgomery, 2; Washington, 1; Mende, 1; Leavenworth, 5; Lane, 1; Wyandotte, 4; Rooks, 1; Neosho, 1; Graham, 1; Miami, 1; Sedgwick, 2; Atchison, 1; Brown, 2; Grove, 1; Jackson, 1; Wilson, 1; Republic, 1.
MEDICS NOW LOCATED IN MUSEUM BUILDING
Moved Bag and Baggage Dur ing the Happy Holi day Season.
THEIR ROOMS TO JOURNALISTS Where Daily Kansan Offices And New Printing Laboratory Are Being Installed.
The north side of the basement of the Museum has been partitioned off for the laboratory and offices of the anatomy classes. Here their equipment has been set up and they have the advantage of better light than in their former rooms.
ght
Pen
After a three weeks' fight with cold weather and other difficulties the School of Medicine and the department of journalism have finally been established in their new quarters. The doctors now have their rooms in the north half of the museum basement, while the embryo newspaper men are located in the old Medic building, where they have installed their laboratory machinery, newspaper files, and editorial desks. Professor Thorpe, head of the department, has his office in the room formally occupied by Dean Sudler.
Those who have been wondering just why the Daily Kansan didn't come out on January 8 can secure a slight hint on the matter if they will interview the bunch of men who have worked night and day for the last twenty days to get things settled for business. The Los Angeles Times building never put up a more wrecked appearance than did the Medic building along about January sixth. The south-west wall of the basement had to be torn out to get the large new presses in. To insure a solid base for this heavy machinery the workmen planned to dig about three feet to bed rock which bedrock was peacefully resting within twelve feet of frozen earth. And that 40-mile blizzard wind singing through the hole in the wall.
Then the new monotype, which is a perfect beauty with twelve thousand complicated parts, slid bithly off of the moving van to warm up; it is still receiving treatment in its corner of the Medic building.
DEAN TEMPLIN TO MEXICO
This is the time in the year when Dean Templin takes his vacation instead of in the summer. He remains at the University during the summer months while the other officers in the administration are away. The Regents have formally approved the plan according to which Professor Templin will take a six week's vacation in the middle of the winter.
It has long been an ambition of Dean Templin's to visit the principal cities in old Mexico. He expects to spend considerable time at the University in the capital city. He expected to stop on the way to visit his orange ranch near League City, Texas.
Dean Eilin Templin went on a trip to the city of Mexico the day after Christmas. He expected to be away six weeks. Prof. A. T. Walker has charge of his office during his absence.

CLASS APPLIES ACID TEST TO POE'S COUGH THEORY
U-u-u-g-g-g-h-h-h!
Coughs long and coughs short. What was it, a contagion of winter colds, or a gasoline engine on a rampage? The noise proceeded from the journalism room. Wheezy coughs like the last protesting cry of the washer on an unprump pump. Long coughs like the bold bad voice of a coast fog-horn.
Ugh, ugh, ugh! Perhaps a new yell for the department of journalism.
The trouble started from a question arising over a line consisting of fifteen printed "Ugh's" in sets of threes, which appeared in Edgar Allen Poe's "Cask of Amontillado" which the class in The Short story
was studying. The members were in doubt as to just why the author wasted so much space with a line like that. Then some one suggested that it was natural to cough in three's, just as Poe had written them.
"No," remarked the professor "I believe I cough in one's." Then followed a short pathetic hack.

"I cough in three's," said one member of the class, agitating his bronchial tubes with sharp phlegmatic lerks.
"H'm, that's peculiar," puzzled the Prof. "Now let's all try it. All together."

TUESDAY, JANUARY 16, 1912
POOR RICHARD SAYS:
Employ thy time well, if thou meanst to gain leisure; and, since thou art not sure of a minute, throw not away an hour."
THE DAILY KANSAN.
The first issue of the University Daily Kansan is the result of a natural feeling of pride that the University has in its official publication. It was not content to be outdone by its sister colleges with their dailies. For a number of years the state University of Kansas has been recognized as one of the big and efficient educational centers in this country and the establishing of a daily paper will not only augment the influence of the University within the state but also will convince every college in the land that in journalism, as well as in other things educational, Kansas is well toward the front.
Some time ago it was recognized that a tri-weekly was neither adequate nor satisfactory, but it was not until the department of journalism obtained sufficient funds to install a complete printing laboratory that the Kansan was encouraged to take the necessary steps for a daily. "The appeal to the student body and to the alumni for support gave the Kansan sufficient financial backing to assure its publication for the rest of the school year.
As a result, after some necessary delay, a student daily is printed today for the first time in Kansas.
--of the daily Kansan board to publish a daily that will represent student life so completely that no future generation will allow it to die for lack of support.
Some students have expressed a fear that the Daily Kansan will cease to be a student publication and will now become a faculty organ in which the department of journalism will be the dominating factor. Such a fear is groundless.
Although the Daily Kansan will use the equipment of the department of journalism it will pay in full for this service and the editorial and the business departments of the paper will be strictly under student control. The journalism students will be used as laboratory workers on the paper but their stories will be edited by the news editor of the Daily Kansan and it will be entirely within his power to direct what news shall be printed and what news shall be withdrawn. The policy of the Daily Kansan is entrusted to the editor-in-chief and he is responsible for whatever appears on the editorial page.
The Daily Kansan wishes to repeat what it has said in previous issues. Every student in the University no matter from what department he comes, is welcome to try out for a staff position on the paper. Reporters are needed from every school and the Daily Kansan wishes to have its staff as representative of the school as possible. No preferences will be shown and appointments will be made strictly on the merit basis.
It will be a week or ten days before the Daily Kansan will be running on the systematic basis that has been planned for it. Everyone will recognize that the first few weeks of its existence will be trying ones but before the year is over it is the hope
Kansas is credited with doing many freak things, but we submit that she has never yet paid $1,000 for a tailor-made state song.
FIRST CALL
This is the first call to do your examination cramming early! Do you realize that there are only eleven more days before the fateful quiz hours arrive? January 27 has been set as the day upon which happy professors will commence a week's bombardment upon those who have been enrolled in their classes, and by February 5 they will have stormed completely the intellectual ramparts of the student body.
Examinations are a bore and a nuisance but they will have to be accepted as one of the inconveniences of college life. What, then, is the use of postponing the polishing-up process until the last few hours preceding the gloom?
If the students of the University wish to do something that is different, they should try the unusual plan of "bugging" for quizzes through the entire semester instead of putting it off until the last moment.
If you haven't been doing this, remember that there are only eleven days until examinations.
Missouri editors have accepted the invitation of the school of journalism to meet at Columbia in May—one month after the Kansas editors will be entertained by the department of journalism at the University. The Missouri Press Association has held so many sessions in Columbia that it may be said to have "got the habit" of visiting the school of journalism once each year. Any professional school is fortunate that has the active interest of those engaged in the profession.
The University professors who "attended" the fire at the home of Prof. R. R. Price are said to have rescued all the china and cut glass, without so much as cracking a single piece. The next time that Chie Reinish has a vacancy in the fire company he will undoubtedly look for a Ph. D.
Since moving into the rooms formerly occupied by the School of Medicine, the Daily Kansan has one more unique distinction. It is the only newspaper in the world that is disinfected with formaldehyde.
One freshman has refused to accept the Student Council's permission to discard his cap this cold weather. He uses it for an ear muff on his north ear.

NCE upon a time a Wolf was loping at a spring on a hillside, when, looking up, what should he see in the water? He drinks a little lower down. "There's my supper," thought he, "if only I can find some excuse to seize it." Then he called out to the Lamb, "How dare you drink?" He water from which I am drinking?

HINTS FROM FATHER
From Letters of a Self-Made Merchant to his Son, by George Horace Lorimer.
MOTHER O' MINE
Dear Pierrepont: Your Ma got back safe this morning and she wants me to be sure to tell you not to over-study, and I want to tell you to be sure not to under-study. What we're really sending you to Harvard for is to get a little of the education that's so good and plenty there. When it's passed around you don't want to be bashful, but reach right out and take a big helping every time, for I want you to get your share. You'll find that education's about the only thing lying around loose in this world, and that it's about the only thing a fellow can have as much as he's willing to haul away. Everything else is screwed down tight and the screw-driver lost.
I didn't have your advantages when I was a boy, and you can't have mine. Some men learn the value of money by not having any and starting out to pry a few dollars loose from the odd millions that are lying around; and some learn it by having fifteen thousand left to them and starting out to spend it as if they were fifty thousand a year. Some men learn the value of truth by having to do business with liars; and some by going to Sunday School. Some men learn the cussedness of whiskey by having a drunken father; and some by having a good mother. Some men get an education from other men and newspapers and public libraries; and some get it from professors and parchments—it doesn't make any special difference how you get a half-nelson on the right thing, just so you get it and freeze on to it. The package doesn't count after the eye's been attracted by it, and in the end it finds way to the ash heap. It's the quality of the goods inside which tells, when they once get into the kitchen and up to the cook.
You can cure a ham in dry salt and you can cure it in sweet pickle, and when you're through you've got pretty good eating either way, provided you started in with a sound ham. If you didn't, it doesn't make any special difference how you cured it—the ham-tryer's going to strike the sour spot around the bone. And it doesn't make any difference how much sugar and fancy pickle you soak into a fellow, he's no good unless he's sound and sweet at the core.
The first thing that any education ought to give a man is character, and the second thing is education That is where I'm a little skittish about this college business. I'm not starting in to preach to you, because I know a young fellow with the right sort of stuff in him: preaches to himself harder than any one else can, and that he's mighty often switched off the right path by having it pointed out to him in the wrong way.
If I were hanged on the highest bill,
Mother o'mine.
If I were drowned in the deepest sea,
Mother o' mine.
I know whose love would come down
to me
Mother o' mine.
I know whose love would follow me still,
Mother o' mine.
If I were damned of body and soul,
    Mother o' mine.
I know whose prayers would make me
    whole,
    Mother o' mine.

STUDENT OPINION
The editor is not *responsible for the clues expressed here*. Communication must be signed as an e-mail.
HELP! HE'S HUNGRY
To the Editor of the Daily Kansan:
I am a student who has a morning class that does not dismiss until 12:20 (five minutes overtime) and an afternoon class that takes up promptly at 1:30. When the days are balmy and walking is good I find that I have ample time in which to walk down Mt. Oread, eat my dinner (I'm no plutocrat) and walk up "the hill" during the noon hour.
The recent heavy snow, with accompanying ice and zero weather, has made safe walking almost impossible and I find it perilous to venture out on the walks and pathways. Now what I wish to bring to notice in this communication to the Daily Kansan is that some place on the campus ought to be provided where students may buy a noon lunch that will stay the pangs of hunger until a more substantial meal may be obtained.
I am informed that the Board of Regents at the Agricultural college have taken steps whereby meals may be obtained on the campus. It is reported that the preparing of these meals will be a part of the laboratory work of the department of domestic science and that lunches may be obtained that will be inexpensive and yet nourishing. I see no reason why a similar plan could not be adopted at the University. With a little extra effort the department of Home Economics could provide a simple noon meal for which a number of students would gladly pay them.
If the department of Home Economics is not inclined to favor the project, the University Regents ought to allow some private enterprise to start a small eating house at which late-for-breakfast students and others who do not wish to make a special down hill trip at noon, may relieve their hunger.
I am sure that I voice the sentiment of a large number of the student body and that the matter will bear investigation. When we have our new Union Building the eating proposition will be settled but until then unless some other provision is made, we must buy hob-nailed boots and spiked shoes and plod a perilous way to and from our boarding houses.

FROM SNOWBOUND
Unwarmed by any sunset light
The gray day darkened into night,
A night made hoary with the swarm.
And whirl-dance of the blinding storm.
As zigzag wavering of and fro
Crossed and recrossed the winged
And cree the early bedtime came
The white drift piled the window
posts
Looked in like tall and sheeted ghosts.
And through the glass the clothes-lined noats.
So all night long the storm roared on
the morning broke without a sun;
In tiny spherule traced with lines
around the world, from earth to
in starry flake, and pellicle,
All day the hoary meteor fell;
And, when the second morning shone,
We looked upon a world unknown,
Or we watched the stars glisten
Around the glistening wonder bent
The blue walls of the firmament,
No cloud above, no earth below,—
A universe of sky and snow!
Gets brighter as the moon approaches.
Look marvelous shades: strange dome
and towers
Rose up where sty or corn-crib stood.
Of garden wall, or belt of wood;
A smooth white mound the brush-pile
snowen,
A feneless drift what once was road;
The bridle-post an old man sat
With loose-flung coat and high cocked
The cellcubb had a Chinese roof; And even the long sweep, high aloof, In its slant splendor, sensed to tell Of Pisa's leaping miracle.
—John Greenleaf Whittier.

LAWRENCE A TOWN OF HOMES
If you live in a city you are probably dreaming of that home you will have some day in the country. If you're in the country, chances are you're thinking of the city. That's human nature. But there is a happy mean between city and country in the town of moderate size, the ideal place for a home. Such a town is Lawrence, the University town of Kansas. It's a fine place to live, here and now.

Recent Canvass of County Clubs
Adds $1,179—Reports Not All
in on Account of Snow.
The campaign for the Women's dormitory is spreading out according to reports received by Dr. Alberta Corbin, who is conducting the campaign at the University. Committees are being organized in New York, Chicago, Boston, San Francisco, St. Louis, and Ann Arbor, Mich.
In Chicago, Mrs. Gertrude Black-welder, '75, who made the address in Robinson gymnasium on Woman's Day, is organizing the work. Roy M. Robinson, '97, has organized a committee for work in New York City. Boston is being campaigned by Russell R. Whitman, of the Boston American, and a committee which he organized. Ross Hopkins, '99, has organized the work in St Louis and Harry Riggs, '86, is pushing the dormitory campaign among students at Ann Arbor.
The last canvass of the county clubs, so far as the reports have come in, has increased the dormitory fund $1,179. This added to what was received on Women's Day and on the first canvass brings the total amount up to $5,000.
Owing to the cold weather and irregular train service the reports from the different counties are slow in coming in. However, it is expected that the sum will be materially increased as soon as the mail service gets better.
The Douglas county club stands first with the largest amount raised and Reno county is second. The amount of money raised by these two clubs has not been figured exactly.

PHYSIOLOGY TEACHERS TO TRY OUT MEALS ARE POORLY TRAINED ON THE PROFESSORS
Dr. Hyde Says that 5 of 160 High School Instructors Are Competent.
"One hundred and sixty high schools of Kansas offer courses in physiology and but five of them have instructors who are competent to teach the subject," declared Dr. Ida H. Hyde, head of the physiology department, yesterday morning.
"I have consulted the reports of State Superintendent Fairchild," she continued, "and find that the preparation for teaching is inadequate. All students should take at least an elementary course in physiology and interested in any of the biological sciences will find it invaluable."
A training class for instructors who are preparing to teach physiology is being conducted by Dr. Hyde. Equipment and materials for teaching the subject have been secured and the students are working in connection with the Oread high schools
Miss Grace Light has been elected to fill a vacancy in the Latin department of the Concordia High school. Miss Light will resign her fellowship here and leave for Concordia soon.

Domestic Science Cooks
Domestic Science Cook Thusly to Grapple High Cost of Living.
A four-course dinner at an expense of 20 cents is the result of the term's work in the food class of the Domestic Science department. The general belief that the cost of living must be high on account of the soaring prices in food stuffs is to be proved false during the next two weeks by the college bred cooks. The dinner which will be served at the low cost will consist of soup, meat, vegetables, coffee, salad and some form of desert.
While economical foods will be used in the preparation of the meal, there will be no lack of nourishment as the girls have deduced by mathematics just how much nourishment a given amount of certain foods will supply. And prepared in a scientific manner and will be fit to serve to a Dr. Wiley.
The guests of the dimmers will be professors and their wives, Professor Day and members of the class. Four girls will prepare each meal, two will act as cooks and two as waitresses.

PREDICTION A LITTLE LATE
Eastern Professor Prophesies Aviation Studies—Already Here Says Prof. P. F. Walker.
Practical work in the study of aeronautics has been done at the University of Kansas, under the direction of Prof. P. F. Walker of the department of mechanical engineering, so the prediction made at Los Angeles a few days ago by Prof. A. L. Roach of the Blue Hill Meteorological Observatory, Boston, in which he stated that college courses in aeronautics would be installed; comes a bit too late.
The work done was the testing of propellers for the H. W. Jacobs multiplane which will make its initial flight at Atchison, January 18th. The speed pitch and thrust of the propellers were calculated and their size, number and arrangement were also determined.
"I do not believe that much will be done in the way of establishing advanced college courses in aeronautics," said Professor Walker today. "All engineering work in the best Universities and technical schools is becoming more and more generalized. It should be the aim of a University engineering training to evolve a type of engineer capable of any thing rather than one who is accomplished in but one line of work
"The study of aeronautics is necessarily a part of the course in mechanical engineering, and from what I have have seen of the aeronautical work done here, I should not think it necessary to establish a special course in the new branch of work. Certainly no such course is at present contemplated at the University of Kansas.
"Of course there are many things we do not know about air currents, that we must know before we will be full fledged birds," and the professor smiled. "And here is a great field for research and practical study. But I see no reason why the present School of mechanical engineering should not suffice amply for research in the fundamental laws of air currents, wind pressures and propeller thrusts."

WEATHER MAN LET GOAL SHOOTERS PLAY
College Meets Washburn this Afternoon—Baker Opens 'Varsity Season.
The battle between the weather man and Manager Hamilton is over. The weather man took down second money.
As a result of Hamilton's victory, the College five will open the 1912 basket-ball season, when they meet the Washburn team at Robinson gymnasium this afternoon.
None but the Coach himself can tell of the terrible struggle that preceded his victory. He alone knows of the telephone bills paid and of the telegrams sent from the time the games scheduled for last week were postponed till they were re-arranged.
Excitement is Promised.
The game this afternoon promises to be exciting at least. The Washburn team is composed of veterans and rightfully should have had a place on the varsity schedule. This was prevented by the eighteen game rule of the Missouri Valley conference.
The Kansas men who will play the game this afternoon will be: Hite, Smith, Carpenter, Brown, Crawford, Eisele, Ebner and Beamer.
"Many of these men are of varisity calibre," said Coach Hamilton, "and

LABORATORY METHOD FOOTBALL CHANGES FOR BASKET BALL AGAIN CONSIDERED
Missouri Valley Coaches Try Out the Rules at Des Moines.
The laboratory method has spread even to Athletics.
The method of analysis used by the basket-ball coaches and officials at Des Moines during the holidays would have pleased Doctor Wiley himself.
A conference meeting held at Kansas City in December decided what rules would govern the indoor game in the valley this season, but split upon how they should be interpreted.
At that time there was great variance of opinion as to what was rough play and what was not, and it was to finally settle this question that the Des Moines meeting was called.
At this game all the men present were given a tryout as officials and when play was over, the decisions made in all questionable cases were reviewed and discussed. A majority interpretation of the rule covering the question was then adopted by the meeting.
The sixteen officials present decided that the best way to reach a decision in the matter was to solve the problems as they would be presented in an actual game. To this end a game was arranged between the Des Moines College team and the Drake five.
"The plan was very successful," said Coach Hamlin. "By giving each man a chance to show how he would run things we settled many disputes and came nearer a complete agreement about fouls and oper play than we could have by any amount of mere discussion. It will certainly go a long way toward making certain standard rules for coaches and officials."
will be seen in conference games.
Until they have played their first game under K. U. colors they are eligible to the College team."
Varsity in Action Tomorrow.
Tomorrow afternoon will be the first day Hamilton's men will meet the five from Hamilton's gym at three o'clock.
This is the first time that Baker has played under the Conference rules and they will not be in their full strength. Captain Liston is the only orange and black player who has appeared before on the local court.
The Kansas team will be in its full strength for this game.
Both the game today and that tomorrow will be played in the afternoon commencing at three thirty.
The Cornhuskers come here Friday and Saturday for the first conference games.

National Collegiate Athletic Association Holds Meeting in New York City.
"In my opinion the critical situation in the football world is at hand," said James Naismith, head of the department of Physical Education, today. "A choice must be made. Either the old style of play must return or the entirely open game be adopted."
Dr. Naismith has returned from a meeting of the National Collegiate Association held in New York. In the meetings of the committee athletics, generally, were discussed. Not only colleges and universities were considered, but the organization and control of sport in secondary schools, athletic clubs, societies and in the Y. M. C. A. was investigated by the
The football situation through the country was the principal theme discussed in the meeting. The schools, colleges, and conferences that are members of the association were all represented and the many suggestions made by their representatives will be later considered by the rules committee, which meets in a few weeks.
Y. M, C. A, was investigated by the association.
The general opinion of the association was that the old style football should be abolished entirely and the open game further developed. It was agreed that the greatest objections to football were being gradually overcome by the new game, and it was pointed out that only four fatalities this year could be directly traced to football. No deaths or fatal injuries occurred in college games.
Among the suggestions offered for the consideration of the rules committee was that of eliminating the five yard run back and the twenty yard throw of the forward pass. This suggestion was made by Dr. Williams of Minnesota, who advocated it as a means of strengthening offensive play. Steps were also taken for the return of "the quarterback and onside kicks.
Some of the advocates of the old game desired the re-instatement of the five yard in three downs rule, when the ball was inside the twenty-five yard line. The proposition of making the distance to be gained seven instead of ten yards was also considered. Both these changes were objected to by the majority as bringing back the old line smashing style of play.
STUEWE TO K. S. A. C.
Promising Candidate for Fullback Position will Attend Agricultural College.
Edward "Butch" Stuewe, one of the most promising candidates for a backfield position on the 1911 football team, has enrolled in the State Agricultural College.
Stuewe was threatened with an attack of typhoid fever early in the football season and was forced to go to his home at Alma, Kansas.
Should he return to the University next fall he will be ineligible for football under the conference ruling concerning men transferring from other schools. It is probable that Stuew will take no part in athletics while at Manhattan.

Diagram showing the relations between the University of Kansas and the Kansas State Board of Health—the manner in which the scientific methods of curing disease, as furthered by the School of Medicine, are allied with the preventive measures put into practice by the State Board of Health, as explained by Dr. S. J. Crambine, Dean of the School of Medicine and Chairman of the Board of Health, in a recent chapel address at the University.
Alston McCarty, president of the Woodrow Wilson club, wrote to the governor in New Jersey, asking him to visit the University on his trip to the West in February. He received a telegram last night stating that the Governor's party would try to make their arrangements for the address to the students here. "Three dates were offered for the Governor's visit to the University," said Mr. McCarty this afternoon. "Thursday evening, Friday morning, or Friday evening It was thought that it would be possible to have him here on Friday evening, but now we believe that he can make arrangements to give an address in the gymnasium at ten o'clock Friday morning.
"Definite plans have by no means been made yet, and they will probabally not be made till we hear further from the Governor's secretary. We promise that after the address in the gymnasium, another meeting will be held in chapel for a political address for those who wish to attend."

Aremometer on Fraser Hall Car Boast of Some Peculiar Records
The University owns many curious and useful instruments of considerable value. One which almost everyone notices is on the top of Fraser hall. It is an anemometer, one of the Robinson cup type, and measures the velocity and force of the wind.
It has been observed that the wind generally blows hardest at 2 p. m., and is the calmest in the evening, yet the windsiest times in the day in the past year were in the evening at 8 o'clock. The year 1873 was the windiest we have ever had recording 150,508 miles traveled. 1904 registered the least with only 97,429 miles.

During the last year the anemometer made, approximately, 59,263,000 revolutions, from December 1, 1910, to December 1, 1911, an average of 164,619 times per day, or 1% revolutions per second. In its travels in the last 365 days, each little aluminum cup covered the distance of 39,509 miles or as far as once around the world and from New York to Japan, moving at the rate of four miles per hour.
The number of miles traveled by the wind during the year was 118,326, which is 3,787 below the annual average. This gives a mean daily velocity of 324 miles and a mean hourly velocity of 12.6. The highest velocity was 60 miles per hour on April 12 and May 10. The highest monthly number of miles traveled was in May when the wind blew a total of 12,242 miles. The three windiest months were January, March, and May, and the three calmest months were July, August, and September.

DR. GRENFELL MAY ADDRESS STUDENTS
Stubbs-Grenfell Fellowship Was Instituted to Investigate His Theory.
Dr. Wilford T. Grenfell, a noted author and the head of three hospitals on the Laborador and New Foundland coasts, may speak in chapel next week. He will be in Kansas City and deliver an address before the Knife and Fork club Saturday, January 20. E. R. Weidline the holder of the Stubbs-Grenfell fellowship, is a close friend of Doctor Grenfell, and he will endeavor to bring the physician here.
Doctor Grenfell visited the University two years ago soon after he had put forward the idea of getting adrenaline from the glands of whales. Adrenaline is an expensive drug which has a wide use in operations upon the eyes in typhoid fever and other diseases. It is obtained from the glands of cattle. The Labrador physician based his idea upon the fact that a whale is not a fish but a mammal with all of the characteristics of the land cattle. It was an entirely new theory in the medical world. Governor Stubbs gave $1,000 as a fellowship for research into the principles of extracting the whale glands.

"Billy" is the new play which the Thespians have selected and which they will present February 12. It appeared at the Grand opera house in Kansas City during the Christmas holidays. "Billy" was chosen in place of the "Gay Mr. Thompkins" because of its college atmosphere. The fact that the comedy is a standard play necessitated the Thespians paying the highest royalty that has ever been paid for a production by a dramatic organization of the University of Kansas.
The plot of "Billy" centers around the love romance of a college football hero. The three acts occur on board an ocean steamer bound for Europe. The part of "Billy" will be taken by Claude Sowers, whose experience in professional dramatics makes him a valuable man for the part. The two women leads will be taken by Maurine Fairweather and Lucy Culp.
Practice for the play is being held in the new opera house different evenings during the week, and the Thespians promise a finished production of one of the most interesting and popular plays of the day. Miss Ida Kirk, a dramatic artist of Leavenworth, has been engaged to direct the college comedy.
Special properties have been secured for the production and the management promises especially good scenic effects.
Owing to the fact that this will be the first University play in the Bowersock opera house it is expected that the theater will be crowded. A matinee will be given on the afternoon of February 12, and a second performance in the evening.
CADY DENIES REPORT.
Thinks That Seismograph Will Not Tell of Change in Earth's Crust.
Prof. H. P. Cady, of the University weather bureau, denies the report of Father Odenbach that a seismograph in the Saint Ignatius Observatory is recording a tilting of the earth's crust in the Great Lake region. The theory that a block of the earth's crust is tilting in that region was not discussed by Professor Cady. He says that no such tilting would be recorded on a seismograph.

UNIVERSITIES ARE NOT LUSTING FOR BIGNESS
Chancellor Strong Answers Criticism of New York Commissioner.
SHUN POLITICS AS DANGEROUS
Colleges do Not Want Political Power Nor do They Yearn For Social Influence.
"If we may trust to the press account of Dr. Andrew S. Draper's paper before the Associated Academic Principals of New York it suffers like so many articles of its kind from generalization upon inadequate data," said Chancellor Strong this morning. The New York Commissioner in a recent speech charged American universities with a lust for bigness and social influence.
"What Dr. Draper says may be true of a few institutions," continued Dr. Strong. "But neither he nor anyone else can justify the statement for universities in general. American universities as a whole have never lusted for riches and bigness and social influence and political power in the meaning of Dr. Draper. They have strongly sought to fill adequately and efficiently the field they were called upon to fill, and have sought riches not for the sake of power and social influence or personal aggrandizement but in order that they might have the means of more adequately fulfilling their functions. They have sought growth simply that they might help and stimulate as many as were fitted to profit by their agencies. American universities, especially state universities as a whole, have never sought social influence and political power but have shunned contact with politics as a most dangerous thing.
American Universities Young.
"It is true that American universities are comparatively young and that they have the defects of their good-qualities, the weaknesses that arise from youth and inexperience. They are American, supported by American communities, and are inevitably to a certain degree like the communities which they serve; but taken as a whole they are unmistakably above the plane of the social and political life of the communities that founded and support them. While they are American in their influences and tendencies it is not true, on the whole, to say that they are not scholarly. I am aware that scholarly is a relative term and yet within the content of the word itself we are justified in saying that American universities, as a whole, are scholarly in a rapidly increasing degree.
"It is true also that the tendency toward commercialism, toward putting the dollar mark on education has been exceedingly strong in our country, but men like Dr. Draper, who are sharply criticizing universities for this tendency, are also forcing upon universities vocational instruction which is based upon the commercial, materialistic idea and are themselves to blame, if anybody is, for the tendency itself. Yet of all American institutions, including the church, that have withstood this tendency the most and kept themselves the purest from the contaminating contact of materialism, the American university stands first."
Statements Not Substantiated
Chancellor Strong went on to say that he did not believe Dr. Draper could substantiate his statement that American universities are essentially lacking in the exactness of the best scholarship and the open-mindedness and intensiveness with which sound scholarship pursues the truth.
"That the elective system has contributed some lack of exactness and intensiveness where it has been pursued to its logical conclusion is no doubt true," added Dr. Strong, "but many American universities never adopted a real elective system and few universities at the present time can be said to have the system in operation."

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
If you would know the value of money, go and try to borrow some, for he that goes a borrowing goes a sorrowing.
LOOKING FORWARD
The University Daily Kansan has ambitious plans, plans that when carried out, we think will make the Daily Kansan the best college daily in the United States. Our new quarters in the Medic building are still in the hands of carpenters, electricians, steamfitters and mechanicians, and the next half dozen numbers will be issued under a handicap.
Within ten days we plan to start a high-school department in which our readers will be kept in touch with the important doings of their old high schools.
The United Press Association through Professor Thorpe has offered the Daily Kansan its telegraph service and we hope to utilize it as far as it deals with news vitally interesting to college men and women.
Arrangements are now under way to establish an Intercollegiate News Association with the central office at the University of Kansas.
In this connection the Daily Kansan will undertake to get correspondents in each of the Kansas colleges and in this way keep in touch with undergraduate activities over the state.
We mention these plans because we feel that every Kanss is interested in the success of his publication because its success will reflect credit on the University.
By February first the department of journalism hopes to have its engraving plant in operation and this will allow the Daily Kansan to furnish its readers with more illustrations than is possible at present.
Have you noticed the Christmas furs? They remind one of the years when coronet braids were "the thing" in coifures, and all the girls came back from the home town wearing the hair that Santa brought.
NOW FOR BASKET-BALL.
The basket-ball team has been seriously handicapped by the lack of heating facilities for the gymnasium and when they meet the fast conference five from Nebraska next Friday and Saturday they will do so with but little preliminary practice. The game with Baker today will give Coach Hamilton his first opportunity to watch him in a game and by the time of the Cornhusker contest he can hope to have accomplished but little in choosing his team.
The variability will not present its former line-up of veterans. Only two members of the team last year are out for places and the rest of the five must be chosen from the freshmen recruits or from those who have decided to try for a position this year.
Coach Hamilton says that he has a basket-ball team that will retrieve the defeats in football. But what the team needs is support from the student body and the time is again
at hand for a manifestation of the old Kansas fighting spirit.
From all appearances the profes sors harvested their usual crop of boisterous neckties at the gladson Christmas time.
SHALL WE JOIN?
Does the University want to join the Intercollegiate Oratorical Association which is made up of all the conference schools of the Missouri Valley? Some time ago Professor Gesell, of the department of public speaking, received a communication from certain promoters of the league in which Kansas was urged to join the other schools in an oratorical contest to be held in Des Moines at the annual conference track meet in the spring.
Before the holidays a notice was printed in the Kansan asking all those who were interested in college oratory to make the fact known to Professor Gesell. Twenty men signified a desire to take up the work.
The question that now confronts the Debating Council, which has the final decision in the matter, is whether or not the University wishes to become identified with this class of forensics.
Many years ago the University belonged to a state oratorical association and those who were either students or faculty members at that time, hold up their hands in horror at the idea of the University retrograding to the old-fashioned bombastic declamation. They regard a return to college oratory as a blight upon our progress.
But there are some who find in modern college oratory something that is worthy of effort. They insist that modern oratory contains more of the argumentative essay than it does of the verbose and turgid declaration. They say that modern oratorical contests are won more on "thought and composition" than on "delivery."
The only way to arrive at a proper conclusion is to have the student body express some sentiment regarding the proposal. If enough students desire to represent their Alma Mater in oratory, Kansas should join the association.
VIEWS WITH ALARM.
The Daily Student, of Indiana University, evidently views the suggestion of Ella Flagg Young superintendent of the city schools of Chicago, with alarm. This is what it says ediatorially:
In former years, since Eden was depopulated, it has been the custom to generalize in the pronoun, using the masculine form where possible. That was in the days when a woman made no pretensions toward equality with man. The suffragett movement has had disastrous results. Now we can not generalize into Him or He or His. Ifella Flagg Young has her way, we'll be saying him'er, his'er and he'er, dividing up our old-time supremacy with the feminine gender. As a step toward recognition of the woman in other things, we denounce this new pronoun, and call on all male philologists to help stamp it out.
The Kansas school of journalism can get some gift edge advertising from the editors of the state who meet at Lawrence next spring, if it will instruct them how to keep a gas engine from bucking and how to calm a bucking subscriber—Chanute Tribune.

Y an unlucky chance a Fox fell into a deep well from which he could not get out. A Goat passed by shortly afterwards, and asked the Fox what he was doing down there; the Fox, have you not? "Did I walk here, where it is going to be a area drought, so here down here in order to be sure to have water by me. Why don't you come down too?" The Goat thought well of this advice, and jumped down into the well. But the Fox immediately jumped on her back, and by putting his foot on her long horns managed to jump up to the edge of the well. "Good-bye friend," said the Fox; "remember next time."
Never trust the advice of a man in difficulties."
The Dub
By S. H. Lewis
YOU'LL never make a lawyer,
Mullins. Never."
The dean was speaking slower than usual, picking his way as if over a nasty bit of road. The path hardened before him, however, when he noticed that the verdict produced no change in the stoid attitude of the man before his desk, slowly revolving a dull cap in heavy hands.
It has been no easy matter for the dean to decide. Even at the last, he had faltered and, while Mullins waited, shifting the poise of his great frame from one foot to the other, the dean had reviewed the student's work again, referring occasionally to the little thumbed record book. As he had sat wavering, the "contracts" incident had occurred to him.
He had asked Mullins to define "contracts" in a freshman class.
"A contract is an agreement, founded upon consideration whereby two or more parties bind themselves to perform or refrain from performing certain stipulated acts, slipped back the gibl reply.
If sounded a bit too smooth to the dean.
"Do you know what that means?" he had asked.
Mullins had stammered a foolish,
"I-I-hadn't thought about that," and had retreated into his seat while the fellows ieered.
the dean had always held it funny; now it seemed significant of Mullins' entire course. "Parrot-like, parrot-like," he had declared to himself, and then, as was his wont, had come directly to the point.
"No, you'll never make a lawyer, Mullins," he repeated. "You haven't the legal mind. This is the third year I've watched your work. It puzzled me. You managed the preliminary work nicely, but I think it was because it was only the foundation of the law, the definitions and general principles. After that, there was something wrong. Your work was all memory, nothing original."
"I studied hard," he said simply.
"Ah, I know that, John," nodded the dean.
"But you haven't the stuff in you to make a lawyer. Your capacity is cramped and you can't go beyond it. No, you can't go beyond it."
The dean pressed his hand across his forehead.
"It's not his fault, poor chap," he thought to himself. "It's the crime of the blind ones at home. They try to mould their children to fit their hopes without reckoning on the kind of clay they are working with themselves plodders, they dream of doctors who would call them 'Father,' When will they ever learn? When will they ever learn?"
The conference over, Mullins shambled out of the building onto the campus, passing the usual cluster of men who smoked upon the steps.
"I'm sorry, John," he said not unkindly, rising and placing his hand on Mullins' stooped shoulder, "but I'm afraid it's no use. You had better go home."
"There goes the Dub," snickered the tallest of the group. "He's a big brute. Funny he never made the team."
The man next to him took a pipe out of his mouth.
"He hasn't got the head for the game," he explained. "Coach spotted him among the freshmen a couple of years ago and made him climb into a suit. It was a month before he gave the Dub up. He's turned out every year since then, but he can't get the hang of it."
"Never forgot the first day of scrimimage," chuckled a red faced giant in a sweater. "I was playing right half on the varsity and the Dub was on the line for the scrubs. Somebody fumbled and he broke through and got the ball. Clear field in front of him, just like in the story books. But the big boob stood still hugging the thing. He said afterwards that he was waiting for the coach to tell him what to do."
The Dub seemed to feel that he had caused the laugh which sputtered at his back.
"I'd like to show 'em," he mur mured sadly, "But I guess I ain' got it in me."
When he reached his room, he lay for a long time upon the narrow bed staring sightlessly up at the ceiling It was a colorless place—all grey and black and white. The bleak walls were specked with tiny holes from which hung hollow squares outlined in dust, the ghosts of the gaudy pictures and the gay pennants of former lodgers. By the lone window stood a decrept table, shouldering a pile of books. One of these stood on an the fly leaf, revealing
a labored "John Mullins," in broad letters. An old-fashioned trunk lolled with half-open lid at the side of a dresser, which was littered with collars and bottles and brushes.
An hour passed before he lifted himself from the bed, and after stretching himself like a lazy hound, began to pack his trunk. This took but a few minutes, as he merely swept off the dresser and dumpee the books in on top.
After that, he was ready to go He had no farewell to make. In the three long years, he had made many acquaintances but no one had ever chosen him for a comrade.
Not a passenger from his town was boarded the dusty train. The Dub was glad of that. With all the pessimism of the country, they had predicted that he'd never make good Postmaster Simpson had pronounced the general sentiment when he drawled, "Well, Jawn, you may make a lawyer, but I hev' very ser'you doubts." It was hard to go back.
He rested his head back and gazed out of the window, up upon the flat stretch, green and brown, flecked here and there with lean, yellow kine. The Dub began to wonder about his own cow. "Io," he called her. A reminisce smile freshened his face as the thought of her christening clambered into his brain. Coming across the name when he studied mythology, he had appropriated it for the chalky-colored family cow. The mythology book was big and blue and fat. He bought it second-handed from Abner Hager. Abner was graduated from the high school the year before. His mother had never liked Abner.
The Dub squirmed uneasily in the red plush seat as he thought of his mother. What would she say? She would be disappointed.
Among his first vague impressions were of a time when she would lead him out into the parlor and explain to the visitors that "John was going to be a lawyer." He had obeyed her dumbly in this wish as in all her others; as he would have obeye anvone whom he trusted.
"I'd like to show her,' he whispered to himself. "But I guess I ain't got it in me."
The town was dark when he arrived. The mill had closed and he heard the familiar gasp of the boiler as he shuffled by. Everything was unchanged; the shops, with the single night lamp burning behind barred doors; the rutted streets; the homes, shapeless masses with all the grotesque of the country architecture blotted out by the kindly darkness.
His mother met him at the door with a glad "John!" She laughed happily as they embraced.
"What's the matter, John? Aren't you feeling well?" she asked anxiously.
"Nothing, mother—just a—vacation." He stumbled at the last word. He wouldn't tell her yet.
The Dub stretched out comfortably in a big squeaky chair. Nothing was altered here at home. The same crayon portraits looked coldly down from their gilt frames; between them the same yellow canary balanced itself in a white cage; the same geranium flared in motley pots by the windows; upon the scrubbed blue floor the same bits of carpet lay as symmetrically.
The mother hurried back and forth before him preparing the dinner. All through the meal she hovered about him, petting him, and overlooking his fumbled answers in the lov of having him home.
As she watched him, sh. seemed to feel that he had changed.
"But John's nearly a lawyer now," she "dabeled to herself. 'I can't expect him to be the same as before.'" A lawyer! At last a real lawyer! She tried to picture him with the dignified judge of Bard Rhodes, the head of the profession in the town. He would look handsomer than the judge, she decided proudly. There was no doubt about that. Even when he was a little boy—But what if he too, should become a judge! She had never dreamt of that before. It was not impossible, though. Of course, it would take a few years. It was not impossible, though. Of course, it would take a few years. She had read somewhere that judges were wearing purple gowns in some courts. John would appear well in purple. When he was small, she had made a suit for him of that color. Perhaps she could make John's gown herself! It would be easy if she had the pattern.
"The minister inquired about you only yesterday," she was saying aloud. "And Judge Rhodes, when he saw me at the Leader Store Friday when I bought this dress goods, said he might take you in his office when you got through."
"What's the matter, John? you aren't well. I thought so." "Let me see your tongue!"
She felt his head.
She saw him wince
"It's not that, mother." Then gathered courage, he stammered up the poor story of the failure, of the dean, of the other men. She gathered him into her arms as of old and they wept it out together.
Ah, silently. They did not talk of the future; the Dub knew there was his she old work on the farm.
For a long time they sat that way
In a little while, they kissed and went upstairs to bed. The mother cried all that night. In an adjoining room, the Dub slept quietly.
The next morning, he put on his old clothes and went out whistling to plow the north field.
He would have liked to show them; but he didn't have it in him.

ONE THING
That makes Lawrence a good place to live in is its thirty miles of pavement, twenty-seven miles of brick and three miles of macadam. Ten years ago Lawrence was just beginning to come up out of the mud. Today it is one of the best paved cities in the state. And, by the way, the brick is made in Lawrence, so the city's money for paving is practically all turned back through the payrolls. That sort of thing spells prosperity.

Football Men as Poney Ballet Girls Have Infinite Tribulations.
In the colleges they post-Christmas holidays the various student dramatic societies are taking the road with their plays, says the New York Sun, but it isn't the Drammer or the Drayma at all, at all—oh dear me, no!
The members of the "troupe" call it a "show" and the billposters—indeed they do have billposters, just like Georgia Cohan—the billposters label it a thing-amabob in two acts by a Student of the University, and not a professional in the whole lineup from the King to the chorus.
Author a Limerick Writer.
It began last wast winter when the Stage Manager met the Author, who wasn't the Author then, but only a Junior who wrote limericks for the college funny paper, on the way to class and told him that his last limerick had decided dramatic possibilities and that he really ought to write the show for next year. And the Author immediately had several ripping ideas—they came to him just as easy as nothing at all—and he cut his class and went home, and had inspirations for hours at a time. And after a while the show was done and Jones was cast to play the King, because Jones was so funny, and the chorus' qualified by kicking before a Committee and the rehearsals and the trouble began. Curtain.
When the curtain is lifted again it is the week after Christmas and the show is on the road. It comes to town borne on the wings of the industrious amateur press agent's passionate enthusiasm. The P. A. has written letters to every alumnus in town weeks and weeks before the show sails into port. And the alumnus digs down into his jeans for the price of two tickets, and calls up Philly of the Prom days, and says that the boys are coming to town with the show and would Philly, remembering the Prom days care to go? Then Philly hoists the "I'd love to" signal and the Press Agent's audience is assured. Very simple.
Pony Ballet Gets Harnessed.
But the real fun is not on the alumnus's side of the footlights by a long, long shot. It's "behind" with the members of the troupe. It's—nay, wait! Have you ever seen a six-by-two-foot youth with muscles distributed in bumps and a chest like a barrel try to get into a two-twow-inch corset? It's funnier than the King's fanciest line.
For of course there isn't a futter of genuine femininity in the whole show. Some of the chorus played football up till Thanksgiving. And in spite of the face rouse and the grease paint and the corsets and the No. 4 slippers, it's really very, very masculine, especially as to what Mr Dooley called "landwidge." Frit stance, Bill, the ex-wrestling champion, is being lashed in his stays for the pony ballet number by two stagchands and a scene shifter, all large, healthy men.
"At altogether now," says the first Stage Hand. "Yheave 'e'!"
"Sorry," says stage hand No. 2.
"but we've got orders to 'look it, and look it we will. Now!"
"Huh-hump," grunts the victim.
"Leg-go that half nelson on my supper."
"It isn't a predicament, Bill" says another of the troupe, who doesn't have to get into his till the second act, "it's a corset."
look we it.
"I—ouch—I'm hanged if—oofh—wow!—if I can move in this p-p-predicament."
"It's——," growls Bill. "Say, you fellows, am I all squeezed out at the ends?"
"Naw, your shape's a dream." "You're a peach, Bill."
"Go to supper with me, Bill." "Oh, you Venus," &c., until Bill, perspiring little grooves in his war paint, hides his agony by burrowing into the coffee and sandwiches provided for the troupe's supper.
So it goes through the dressing rooms, where the "chorus" is fighting its way into pink slippers and other things.

Die And Be Honored.
"Die and be honored" seems to be the order at the University of Washington. The regents have just forbidden the unveiling of a medallion of Prof. Edmond S. Meany in Meany hall because of a rule against honoring any member of the faculty by the erection of a statue, bust, or medallion during the honored man's lifetime. Since the medallion was the gift of the sculptor, the Washington Daily very gently remarks that "it will probably be kept until the time comes when it may be unveiled without encroaching on the ironclad rules of the regents."

WASHBURN DEFEATED BY NARROW MARGIN
College Five Won Opening Game of the Basketball Season.
COLLEGE 32-WASHBURN 30.
Visitors Could Not Overcome Lead
Taken by the Locals Early
in The Game.
The College basketball-basket team won the opening game of the 1912 season played yesterday afternoon in Robinson Gymnasium. The final whistle found the score 32 to 30 with the Ichabods on the short end.
Though the game could not be called sensational there were many bright spots in the play of both teams. Likewise there were many spots that were very dark.
The opening of the game was lopsided, it was College, all the way. The Washburn men appeared lost on the big court and before they had made themselves comfortable the locals had accumulated several points.
The second period told a different story. It was the Washburn men who were tearing things up and the Kansans who were struggling, not very successfully to get their bearings.
The greatest fault of the visitors was a remarkable inability to stay on their feet at critical times. A Blue player would poise himself to toss a basket and then, crash, lost poise and with it a chance to score.
For the Kansans Hite played the best game. His work at forward shows him to be a dangerous contestant for a varsity position. Crawford also played well and shot several difficult baskets. Smiley and McNish were easily the Washburn stars. They scored most of the points for their team and at the same time showed a disposition to play their own positions, an inclination sadly lacking in some of their team mates.

BOB-SLEDS ARE LOADED
TO GUARDIANS EVERY EVENING
The enforced vacation, that came with the cold weather, afforded the students ample opportunity for coasting. Many of the student boarding clubs and the fraternities own "bob-sled" and all of these are kept busy in the evenings.
On Lee street the "bob-sleds" travel at express train speed from Oread to New York and New Jersey streets, five or six blocks east of Massachusetts.
It is estimated that the ride of over a half mile is made in far less than a minute.
DON HENDRICKSON VERY ILL
Donald C. Hendrickson, president of the freshman class last year, is in El Paso, Texas, very low with tuber coliosis.
Mr. Hendrickson came to the University last year from Central high school in Kansas City and in his physic$^1$ examination Dr. Naismith reported that he had one of the best physiques in the University. He was one of the best hurlers in the University though he did not excel in that event while here.

Kansas City's Star Weight Man to be Here
Friday.
Lee Talbot, who was a member of the 1908 American Olympic team, and who for many years held the in-
terscholastic records in all weight events will give an exhibition in Robinson gymnasium Friday afternoon.
The coming of Mr. Talbot is a step furthering a recently adopted policy of the department of physical education.
Leaders in various activities will be brought to the University and the local men will be given an opportunity to participate. The men of recognized athletic attainment
Last year F. H. Porter a high jumper of wide reputation, also a member of American Olympic team, gave an exhibition of the various forms in jumping.
MID-WINTER FOOTBALL
Wisconsin Teams Will Show Result of Compulsory Gridiron Game.
In a football game to be played February 22 the physical training department of the University of Colorado will compute the results of winter football.
For several months past a large squad of men have been required to take a course in football, instead of their regular work in the gymnasium. The work done thus far has mainly, in kicking, running and tackling. From now on teams will be selected and the men given a chance to show what they can do in actually playing the game.
Compulsory football was adopted at Wisconsin for two reasons. The one merely to get the boys out of the gymnasium and to accustom them to work outside; the other to develop material that might be of service when the next football season begins. In both of these particulars the experiment has been successful. The boys take far more interest in the outdoor football than in the old gym drills and at the same time several strong candidates for next season's varsity have appeared.
TROPHY ROOM TO BE LOCKED
Vandals' Work Causes Privileges in
The Gym to be Revoked
It has been discovered that vandals had entered the trophy room in Robinson gymnasium and had scratched and cut initials in three different places on the panels of the walls. Two of the cuts were so deep that they were plainly visible from the opposite side of the room and the third was scratched in such a manner that it will be impossible to hide it by polishing.
A committee is looking into the affair and in all probability the persons who committed the vandalism will be brought to account. In the meantime the trophy room will be kept locked.
Shortly before the Christmas holidays it was requested of Dr. Naismith, head of the physical training department, that the trophy room be kept open for the benefit of the students and the visiting public. On account of the expensive finishing and the value of the contents the room had been locked and all those who wished to see what it contained were permitted to look through the windows from the outside hall. However Dr. Naismith consented to admit the public as long as the room was properly treated.
Eight o'clock classes and monthly conventices in the armory are among President Vincent's innovations at the University of Minnesota.

March—Will Play Two Games
The basket-ball game this afternoon will be the opener of the Kansas varsity team's schedule. From now until March, Hamilton's goal tossers will be very busy men.
With K, C. A. C.
The game this afternoon may almost be called an experiment. Both the K. U. team and the Baker aggregation are unknown quantities.
The Kansas team also is a new one. Only Captain Douseman and Stuckey, the star of last year's five, have worn the varsity uniform before this season. Others on the team have had much experience on the College and freshmen teams be fore they graduated to the varsity.
Baker's team has been built around one man, Captain Listen. He is the only man on the Methodist squad who is an experienced player The Baker team will not be in its full strength as it will go into action minus two of its regulars who are barred from the Kansas game by the conference rule.
Friday of next week The Kansas City Athletic Club, Kansas' old rival for highest honors in the west will appear on the local court and the following night the strong team from the Agricultural College will make their bow.
The Nebraska team comes here for the first games of the conference schedule, Friday and Saturday nights. Nebraska is represented as having a team fully as strong as last year's aggregation.
Kansas's longest trip will come late in February when Washington and Missouri will be played on their home courts. After a week at home the team will then move to Manhattan and hence to Lincoln, where they will finish the season.
The complete schedule of the varsity five is as follows:

Varsity And College Basket-ball Teams Appear in New Uniforms.
The varsity and College basket-
ball teams appeared in their new
uniforms yesterday for the first
time.
The College team wears the ree and black suits and the varsity wears the University colors. The suits are of about the same quality, in each case there is a red band around the dark colored body.
The large white numbers on the back of the varsity suits are according to the rule made by the conference so there would be no confusion in the goals and the number of fouls committed.

National Collegiate Association Beneath the Amateur Spirit Standard.
The National College Association have set a new standard of professionalism for the man who just will play ball out of school hours.
The amateur spirit rule means just this: Men who wish to play summer base ball may do so as long as they do not receive compensation That is to say; they can play "for fun."
Enter the "Amateur spirit rule."
It is very simple if you understand it.
The fact that there are other men on the team who receive money for their services in no way affects the teams, so you choose who chooses to play for glory alone.

Club Will Give Annual Concerts in Fraser Hall on Feb.7 and 8.
FEATURE PROGRAM, QUARTET
Program, Including Many Solos, is in Two Parts—Sowers Gives "Blackface" Impersonations.
The annual concerts of the Glee club were announced this morning by Melvin Kates, the manager of the club. The club will sing in the chapel in Fraser Hall Wednesday and Thursday evenings February 7 and 8. Student Enterprise tickets will be good for both of these concerts.
A trip to the Pacific coast at the expense of the Santa Fe railroad has caused the singers to put forth their best efforts in preparation for the concerts. The incentive to take the long journey has brought out the best voices in the University, and the Glee club this year is one of the strongest in the history of the University. The quartet is especially good and this part of the performance has been featured. by the club The quartet is composed of Lawrence Smith, first tenor; John Musselman, second tenor; Harvey Phillips, first bass; and Hal Black, second bass.
As usual, the program will be divided in two parts, the first will be in full dress and the second in negligee. Clarence Sowers will give several black face impersonations and other members will sing solos.
The manager of the club is making plans for the western trip. Besides the regular itinerary a number of side trips in sightseeing will be made by the University singers. The K U. Alumni of Las Vegas, New Mexico, will entertain the club in that city. At Palo Alto, the club will be the guests of Roland Perkins who sang baritone on the club two years ago.

ENGINEERS, WRITE CLEARLY OR LOSE YOUR CONTRACTS
Calvin Rice, See, of Amer. Soc. Mech Eng. Told Students That Writing Must Be Exact.
Colvin W. Rice, National Secretary of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers, addressed the students of the School of Engineering in the chapel room of Marvin hall Tuesday morning. He said that engineering students should first of all be able to express their thoughts clearly, both in written and oral speech.
"People take a doctor's prescrip-
tion in Latin, or the lawyers, advice
in legal language, and do not问
question its correctness," said Mr. Rice.
"But, an engineer must, at all times,
express his thoughts in clear Engl-
ish so that the city council or the
old German mayor can understand
them, or else stand the biggest
chance in the world of losing his contract.
Mr. Rice is visiting student branches of the Mechanical Engineering Society, coming here directly from Columbia.
"WORK OF CHICAGO VICE COMMISSION"
William Summer Tells Students What Has Been Done at "Windy" City.
William Taylor Sumner, chairman of the Vice Commission of Chicago, will deliver a lecture in chapel at 2:45 Thursday afternoon, January 25. The address will deal with his work and is open to all the University and the public. Mr. Sumner is brought here through the efforts of the university Y. M. C. A.
The Vice Commission of which Mr. Sumner is chairman was appointed by Mayor Basse of Chicago and is the first commission of its and ever created by a city council. Ten thousand dollars was appropriated to carry on the work.
The purpose of the commission was to investigate the vice condition, of Chicago and to make a report of these findings with recommendations for means of improvement. After much work the commission gave an exhaustive review of the status of the social evil in Chicago, its past, its causes, and means of suppressing it. It made many radical recommendations.
Besides being chairman of the vice commission, Mr. Sumner is Dean of the Cathedral St. Peter and Paul; superintendent of city missions; a member of the board of education; and founder of the Charles Summer艺术馆 of Chicago in 1908.
"Student Honor" is the subject that will be discussed at the regular Thursday evening meeting of the Y M. C. A. this week. D. C. Martini, president of the association, will lead the discussion and all men present will be given an opportunity to express themselves on this subject.

BODY DEFECTS SEAT OF INBORN CRIMINALITY
Professor Trittien's Investigation at Reformatories Is Basis for Theory.
MEDICAL MEN INTERESTED
He Will go to Topeka Tomorrow to Test Students in Kindergarten Schools There.
Prof. A. W. Trettien of the department of Education, will go to Topeka tomorrow to make tests in the kindergarten schools there for any possible abnormalities that might occur among the children.
Professor Trettien has made an extensive study of defectives and arrested development in all classes of people and has given special attention to criminals and the insane. The field that he is working in is practically a new one and is receiving much sociologists, criminologists and the medical fraternity all over the United States.
The method of study is to examine the child for any physical deformity or abnormality which he might possess. If there is any defect there is a possibility that the child might be affected mentally or morally and he is then examined by what is known as the "Binet-Simon" test. This consists in questioning the subject and noting the answers which he gives and the length of time in which he remains silent before he replies. The examination includes the testing of the respiratory organs, the hearing and the vision.
Professor Trettian was in Topek last week and examined the boys in the Reform school. He obtained additional valuable data in regard to the seemingly inborn desire or the atavistic tendencies of some natures to be criminals.
"The work that I am doing," said Professor Trettian, "is to discover defectives and if possible correct them before they become of such age that a remedy will be of little good. For instance if a child of five years, say, has an adenoid growth in his mouth, his auditory organs will be weakened and his breathing impaired."

Sloth makes all things difficult, but industry all things easy.
Nine Days "Till Examinations.
ARE YOU HUNGRY?
The pitiful wall of A. N. Eater in a recent communication to the Daily Kansan, cannot fail to strike a responsive chord in the hearts of a large number of students who find themselves at the noon or the chapel hour marooned on the hill with nary a bite to eat.
When it was first noised abroad that "Billy's" was going to abdicate, a loud protest was heard from the student body. However it failed to stir a hoped-for sentiment in the heart of the owner of the land upon which the little eating house stood and the building was moved.
Now that winter is here and Mt Oread is an icy dome, the necessity for a lunch room is emphasized. The department of home economics is unwilling to take up the task of serving meals and no doubt its inadequate equipment is sufficient excuse for its refusal.
But while all this agitation is going on we are hungry. The present condition offers no relief to an empty stomach. A. N. Eater has struck deep at one of the vital questions of our University life.
There are, then, only two ways left by which such a place may be established. Either the Board of Regents must take the initiative and see that such a room is secured or a privilege must be granted to private individuals or groups of individuals who desire to take the pecuniary risk necessary in starting the project.
The student who suggested the awarding of "K's" to the faculty members who eat the lunch served by the home economics class, is still unapprehended.
MERIT IN SENIORS' PLEA.
The movement of the seniors for a leave from examinations if a grade of "2" has been made in the semester's work, certainly carries with it an element of justice.
In the last few weeks of the senior year are crowded all the things that mark the culmination of a college career. If a student has done good work during the first part of the year and during the most of the last semester, there is no real reason why he should not be exempt from a quiz that cannot possibly affect his final grade. Anyone who has been doing “2” work will not fall down far enough in his final examinations to bar his graduation.
Exemption from final quizzes in the senior year would be one of the fondest recollections of an "old grad"'s life.
CALL AN OFFICER!
If the University consumes sixty tons of coal a day for heating purposes, how much does Washburn?
FOR THE SAKE OF ECONOMY.
Several months ago the members of the senior class voted to place the management of the Jayhawker upon the honor basis. By their actions they precluded the business manager from reaping a profit from his work.
In order to insure the class against a loss this year, the manager has decided to sell Annual tickets for $2.50 until March 1. After that date 25 cents will be added to the price of the Annual. In this way it is hoped to obtain an idea of the approximate number of books wanted and thus great saving will probably be made Last year there were almost two hundred books unsold owing to the inability of the manager to ascertain the number of books desired.
If the seniors are consistent in their idea of economy, they will assist the management by buying their Annual tickets before March 1.
WE'RE NOT BEHIND.
The University of Washington Daily has this to say about athletic conditions at Missouri, showing how the Kansas policy in athletics is being adopted:
Missouri has adopted the slogan in athletics: "Greatest Good for the Greatest Number," and the results of a system of athletics for all the students have caused favorable comment from the Missouri press. The University at Columbia has outdoor basket-ball courts, a golf link, baseball, diamonds and other outdoor, as well as indoor, equipment, which is used for athletic practice and competition among the interclass, interfraternity teams and teams representing the colleges within the university.
The idea of athletics for all the students is growing. Faculty, athletic authorities and students themselves are beginning to see the folly of developing a few strong teams composed in most cases of men who are rugged enough not to need athletics for the building up of their bodies.
HOW TO RUN SCHOOL PAPERS
In connection with the Pulitzer School of Journalism, for which Mr Joseph Pulitzer made provisions it his will, to be founded as a part of Columbia University, the Columbia Alumni News has collected the opinions of several editors and educators regarding the course of instruction that should be provided.
Philip J. Reid, editor of the Detroit Free Press, suggests that the present methods of selecting the staff for the college paper should be abolished and that the editors should be picked by rotation from among the enrolled students in the school of journalism, making service on the college paper a compulsory part of the study of journalism.
When the suggestion was mentioned to some of the editors of the Columbia Spectator, the college daily, it was not received favorably. The students on the paper expressed the opinion that the Spectator was a part of the college activities as much as the crew, or the baseball team, o the track team, and that the only way in which an undergraduate ought to attain to an editorship was through his ability and by working his way up.-New York Herald.
A WOLF had been gorging on an animal he had killed, when suddenly a small bone in the meat stuck in his swallow it. He soon felt terrible pain in his throat, and ran up and down grooming and grooming and seeking for relief to relieve the pain he was trying to induce in one of his bones to move the bone. "I would give anything," said he. "If you would take it out." At last the Crane agreed to try, then asked the man to open his jaws as wide as he could. Then the Crane put its long neck down the Wolf's throat, and with its brake the bone, till at least it got it out

The first object of education in the Philippines is, of course, to make the Filipinos an English-speaking people. Simultaneously their characters are to be built up and they are to be instructed in the beauties of Occidental civilization in general. But "a Filipino's idol of education . . . one which fits him to be a gentleman among his peers," and any American will tell you that the first effect of education on a Filipino is to make him consider himself too good to do any work.
Many of those who came out as teachers, especially in the very early days, were sadly unfitted for their work. It was inevitable that it should be so. The comfortable Jacksonian theory, once had wide acceptance in the United States, held that any American was by Divine Providence created competent to execute any task which he might undertake.
In Spanish days the great mass of the natives went barefooted, ... and they stood aside for any white man whom they met. Today the streets not only of the city of Manila but of all the towns over a large part of the Christian Islands, are thronged with dapper youths, clad in immaculate white, with high collars and faultless neckties, with shees not uncommonly of patent leather, and with well-oiled hair which, in most of their otherwise unoccupied moments they are combing with the aid of a pocket hand-mirror. Theseyouths do not stand aside for any white man, and least for any American. In them at least democratic doctrine has borne fruit.
But it was stretching this doctrine to its limits when it was supposed that any man or woman who could pass certain elementary examinations, never having had experience of the world beyond that to be gained in a small town in, perhaps, Kansas or Indiana, entirely unversed in the ways of men, could, being suddenly transplanted to an unfamiliar environment, become by the light of nature a competent instructor of ar Oriental people speaking a language of which the teacher was as ignorant as he (or she) was of Eastern natures and Eastern ways of thought.
Four things a man must learn to do if he would keep his record true; To think, without confusion, clearly; To love his fellowmen sincerely; To act from honest motives purely; To trust in God and Heaven securely
STUDENT OPINION
—HENRY VAN DYKE
A BENEFIT PERFORMANCE
The editor is not responsible for the contents of this book. Communications must be signed as an evidence of originality.
All the great newspapers in this section of the country are telling of the need of relief in the cities and towns that they represent and in the same issue acknowledging scores of benefits that have been received from the public-spirited and benevolent citizens.
The University of Kansas is never behind in any good work and in this instance it should be in the lead. Some of the social service that is taught here and the higher life of more advanced civilization that is advanced in such an institution could well find practical working in an emergency of this character.
The University has talent in all lines and some sort of benefit could be worked up that would not only prove to be a means to help, but a source of entertainment for those who gave their money to help the good work. Each time that any student enterprise is given here it is well attended and is a financial success. How much more of a success a performance with this aim in view could be can only be guessed.
Let the Student Council or some authorized body work for an achievement of this sort. Misery is at our door; the warmer weather has not nor will not, bring relief. We the fortunate ones of this generation should help those who have not our advantages; the approval of our own conscience would be reward enough; the better feeling toward the University would repay—if one need consider such repayment—by the advertisement that would be given such a move. Let the word go forth that the University is an institution that practices what it preaches and that the college man is not the type the newspapers depict but a serious young citizen, willing to take upon himself the burdens of life.

DEAF BUT HAS A, B
The Boston Transcript in a recent editorial calls attention to an instance of student diligence at Harvard that is noteworthy. It says:
In the honor list at Harvard this year there is the name of a young man who has had to overcome serious physical defects to win his scholastic distinction. George Draper Osgood, despite the fact that he is deaf —not deaf and dumb, as has been reported—completed his work for an A. B. last June, but will not take the degree until 1912 in order to graduate with his class. He is now doing advanced work in chemistry and mathematics.
Mr. Osgood, who is a nephew of ex-Governor Draper, attended the Horace Mann School from the time he was five years old until he was nine, and later was a student at Chancey Hall and Noble and Greenough. He is the latter school's sole representative in this year's Harvard scholarship list.
The difficulties that this young man had to meet were enough to discourage the ordinary person. Born deaf, he was forced to acquire speech before he could begin his education. In college he has had to depend largely on second-hand notes in all his course, because even if the professor could be depended on always to face his class, it is a physical possibility for a student to keep his eyes fixed upon a speaker and at the same time take legible longhand notes. His is indeed an example of what can be accomplished by courage and hard work.
The Daily Kansan will publish in this space favorite verses of its readers. Contributions welcome—The Editor.

ONE THING
That makes Lawrence a good place to live in is its thirty miles of pavement, twenty-seven miles of brick and three miles of macadam. Ten years ago Lawrence was just beginning to come up out of the mud. Today it is one of the best paved cities in the state. And, by the way, the brick is made in Lawrence, so the city's money for paving is practically all turned back through the payrolls. That sort of thing spells prosperity.

BUY YOUR TICKETSNOW
No Jayhawker Orders Taken After March 1---Pictures Must Be in by Feb. 20.
Jayhawk tickets are now on sale at $2.50, the price that luxurious custom has decreed for the K. U. annuals in the past few years. If the old system of the lucky girl who goes "fused to" the Senior Play works, it will cost the "graffee" an even "V." That is, if he is foresighted enough to buy tickets now. If not, he must pay an added penalty of "two-bits" on each book. No tickets will be sold after March 1, and the price of Jayhawkers will then be "hiked" to $2.75. This is to insure the management against the loss that always ensues when a large edition of books must be printed before they are subscribed for.
Tickets for the annual may be secured from Clark Wallace, Elmer Dittmar, Harold Brownlee, Emily Swick, Rachel Baumgartner, Emerson Bray, Carleton Armsby, Harry Weaver, Ethel Stone, and members of committee.
The seniors and group pictures must be in by February 20. The senior half-tones will cost $1.50 this year, and $3.50 will be the price of a pare in the Jayhawker.

WASTE THEIR TIME STUDYING LATIN?
High School Students Are Benefitted by It Says Prof. Walker.
Another educator has advanced a criticism of teaching Latin in High Schools and the friends of Latin sit back and point to the fact that in the past few years the number of Latin students in the high schools of the country has increased from thirty to sixty per cent. Prof. E. C. Moore, head of the educational department at Yale, before the Los Angeles Teacher's Institute, said that "of all the undesirable features of our high school system, the foolish plan of teaching Latin is the worst."
Prof. A. T. Walker, head of the Latin department at the University of Kansas smiled where shown Professor Moore's remarks.
"Why, when I started in to teach Latin," he said, "I was terribly afraid that in a short time I would lose my job, but now," and the professor spread his hands expressively. "A larger per centage of high school students study Latin than ever before, and the 500,000 high school students that Professor Moore says are wasting their time studying Latin could not employ it to a better advantage. One rememberes as much as he remembers for any other high school course, and what he does remember does him more good. Besides there is the acquaintance with history and the classics that one gathers from the study of Latin."
"In fact there are three marked benefits that accrue to the Latin students, "continued Professor Walker" In addition to history and classics, there is the disciplinary power gained with its development of the reasoning and selective functions of the mind; then there is the great aid to learning English that must accompany a careful study of Iatin. Over sixty per cent of the English words are Latin derivatives and they are the more technical and unusual words; the short and familiar Anglo-Saxon words are the first learned "
Professor Walker has written a chapter on Latin for Prof. C. H. Johnston's text-book "High School Education." The following is an excerpt which summarizes the chapter "To return now briefly, to the definition of the goal of Latin teaching as the ability to read Latin, it is clear of course that the practical aim must be to teach the pupil to read Latin just as the practical aim of the foot-ball coach must be to teach his pupils to carry the ball over the goal line. But foot-ball is not retained as a college sport merely that ball may be carried over a goal line; nor is Latin retained in the curriculum merely that its pupils may learn to read Latin. If football is to remain a college sport, the coach must, it is true, teach his pupils to carry the ball, but all his tactics must be chosen with reference to the cultivation of courage, fair play, sportsmanship or whatever other good qualities are claimed for football. If Latin is to remain in the curriculum the teacher must likewise, teach the pupil to read Latin, but all his methods must be chosen with reference to the higher aims of inculcating right habits of thinking, of improving the pupil's English and of cultivating his appreciation of literature.

OPENING CONTEST
A KANSAS VICTORY
Orange and Black Five Badly Outclassed by Hamilton's Men.
SCORE: K. U., 45—BAKER, 18.
Local Men Showed Lack of Teamwork Due to Enforced Rest.—Red Brown The Star.
Coach Hamilton's varsity quintette easily won the opening struggle of the basket-ball season. The score was Kansas, 45; Baker, 18.
Baker Hopelessly Outclassed
The whole story of the game is told by the number of points scored by the competing teams. The visitors were hopelessly outplayed, they never had a chance. From the time "Red" Brown tossed the first basket for the University representatives until the final whistle sounded the Methodists were in the "also ran" column.
In the opening session, Kansas accumulated fourteen baskets for a total of 28 points while their opponents were gathering seven tallies.
The second period was marked by a slowing down of the Kansas machine. The Baker men played a better defensive game in this half and were more accurate in taking advantage of the local's fouls than before, scoring 11 points while Kansas was making 17. The Kansas men were tiring rapidly when the game ended.
Varsity Not Conditioned.
The lack of condition of the varsity men and the imperfect teamwork that was often displayed by them clearly demonstrated that the time lost from practice by the late lamented coal shortage had its effect. The speed and individual play, exhibited, however, points to the development of one of the greatest teams that ever represented the red and blue before the season's end
"Red" Brown was by far the star of the game. He scored a total of twenty-one points, all but one of which were made by goals from the field. Of the Baker team Captain Listen, at center, was the entire performance. He scored all but four of the visitors' tallies and was their strongest defensive player.
Kansas suffered because of fouls Stuckey was disqualified for fouling late in the second half and Baldwin took his place.

National Collegiate Athletic Association Did Not Overlook Bets.
NOTHING NEGLECTED
If there was any line of sport that was neglected by the national Collegiate Athletic Association in their recent meeting, the gentlemen of the committee request someone to mention it to them.
They, in theory of course, reformed the football rules, eradicated summer baseball, eliminated the professional coach, and abolished gate receipts at all college contests.
Not only this but they gave soccer football an established position as a college sport, forwarded the playground movement, aided the Sunday School leagues, and investigated the athletic standing of the Y. M. C. A. Then they departed to their respective seats of learning.

WILL CONTEND FOR CONFERENCE HONORS
Six Teams in Battle for Missouri Valley Basket-ball Struggle.
CONFERENCE IN DIVISIONS
Champions of the Southern Section Will Meet Northern Leaders in Final Three Game Struggle
The six schools of the Missouri Valley Conference are now bending their efforts toward the basket ball championship.
For the past four years the arrangement of the schedules has made possible the selection of a team whose right to the title could not be disputed. This result has been attained by the division of the conference two sections. In the northern division, Drake, Drake, and Ames. The schools in the southern half are Kansas, Missouri, and Washington.
Each team meets the others in its divisions four times during the season. When these games have been decided the division leader meets the champion of the other section. A three game series decides the team that shall hold the title.
Kansas has been valley champion for the past four years. Last season however, there was a cloud upon her title because of the fact that Nebraska won the majority of games played in the Cornhusker-Jayhawker series.
Kansas retained the conference honors as the Nebraska games were not championship contests. The reason for this was that the Cornhuskers were in the Northern division and therefore not proper opponents for a southern team in any but the final series of games.
If Kansas wins the southern title this year and Nebraska leads in the north, and this seems very probable, the two teams will meet seven times. Only the last three will be reckoned in deciding the championship.
Thus far there have been but two conference games played, Nebraska winning both from Drake. The games here Friday and Saturday should give a good line on the valley leadership.
The entire conference schedule is as follows:

NUMBER 4
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 19, 19
REGENTS APPLY PROBE TO AHRENS MATTER
Want to Know if His Fraternity and Teammates Knew of Deception.
IS UP TO STUDENT COUNCH
The board of regents unqualifiedly condemns the action of Ahrens and is disposed to regard with disfavor any student or group of students who knew of his discrepancy and allowed it to go unapprehended. The Student Council will make its report at the next meeting of the board of regents.
Henry Ahrens, it will be remembered, who played center on the foot ball team last fall, was refused his letter by the athletic committee or the ground that he practiced deception in leading the faculty to believe that he had completed his registration. The University and the Student Council apologized to the colleges against whom Ahrens played.
The regents are unwilling to let the Ahren's matter drop with an apology to other universities. At their meeting last night they requested the Student Council to reopen the investigation, with a view of finding out if Ahren's fraternity and his associates knew of his irregularities.
Regents present at the meeting were: William Allen White, Leor C. Samburn, Rodney Elward, James A. Kimball, and Chas. S. Foley.
TO AID MINING SCHOOLS
REGENTS ASK CONGRESS
A telegram was sent to Congress by the Board of Regents recommending the passage of the Foster bill H. R. 6304. This bill provides for government aid to universities with mining schools such as the aid given agricultural colleges at present. The telegram follows:
"Mining is one of the most important industries of man. Its interests are as wide spread as the human family and as enduring as time. Like agriculture, it is fundamental in its principles. In its successive prosecution mining requires and makes, use of the highest degree of intelligence and knowledge. It is vastly important, therefore, that investigation and education along all lines pertaining thereto be fostered by the federal government the same as is now done for the sister industry of agriculture.
Report Will be Made to the Board a Their Next, Meeting—Other Business Transacted.
"Therefore we, the Regents of the University of Kansas, request and urge the Congress of the United States to enact such legislation as may be necessary to accomplish this end. We believe the bill now before Congress known as the Foster bill H. R. 6304, will serve this purpose
and therefore we recommend its enactment into law."
CHANGES IN PERSONNEL
RATIFIED BY REGENTS
The resignation of A. B. Frizell as instructor in mathematics and of L. E. Hoover as assistant in the business office and of Miss Orpha, G Light as teaching fellow in Latin were accepted. The transfer of Sarah Piatt Wheeler from the University extension department to the department of journalism was approved and Miss Esther M. Clark was appointed as stenographer in the extension department.
Warren W. Reed was appointed instructor in rhetorics. Mr. Reed comes from Kentucky.
C. H. Heuser was appointed assistant professor in the Department of zoology for the second term. Mr. Heuser is Austin Fellow at Harvard and is granted a leave of absence.
R. L. Nelson was appointed instructor in mathematics for the sec- tion of calculus.
Women's Student Council Has Requested Mass Meeting in Which Vote Will be Taken.
David D. Stradling, now city engineer of Indianapolis, Ind., was ap pointed assistant professor of Civil Engineering for one year to take the place of Prof. B. J. Dalton.
Jacob O. Jones has been appointed instructor in Civil Engineering for the next term to take the place of C R. St. Clair who has accepted a position in McPherson College.
The Woman's Student Council will present the problem of week-night dates before the girls of the University for ratification of the action which has been taken by the council against the dates.
WILL CO-EDS RATIFY
WEEK-NIGHT DATE RULE?
Permission was asked of Chancelor Strong to hold the meeting but no date has been set.
K. U. MEN PASS BAR EXAM.
Lewis M. Sawyer, of Norton, a student in the College passed the state bar examination at Topeka held at The College and his L. B. degree in Yale last year.
Four alumni of the University also passed the examination. They are Harry Clark Alphin, '10, of Douglass county, Reginald Prichard Jacaman of Sedgwick county, Ansel Roscoe Clark of Montgomery county and Arthur Fredrick McCarty of Kansas City.
STUDENTS' HALL TO BE IN
AEMINISTRATION BUILDING
The plans for the Administration building approved by the Regents to day contain three important changes in exterior from the former plan; the dome is removed, the connecting links between the wings and the central section are eliminated, and the main entrance will be an alumni memorial entrance in bronze, fifteen feet wide and thirty-four feet high with space set apart for each class. The principal interior change will be the extension of the rotunda into a large students' hall on the first floor of the main section.

Chivalry is not dead at the University.
Last night at 12 o'clock the members of the Pi Beta Phi sorority were awakened by a noise made by some one moving around on the first floor of their house. When the girls recalled the numerous robberies in Lawrence the past week, they became panicky.
Genevieve Herrick, of Kansas City, finally mustered up courage enough to peer over the banister. She saw or rather heard, a burglar creep quietly across the hall. The girl became terrified and made use of a telephone on the second floor to summon members of the Sigma Nu fraternity, who live across the street, to the rescue.
Owing to the prompt appearance of the fraternity men, all the burglar was able to take was his departure
While the girls were huddled in one of the rooms, the men hunted through the house for the thief. The window was was an oper window in a back room.
In a few minutes the fraternity men, fifteen strong, barcheated and dressed in bathrobes and slippers some bare-footed, rushed through the gym. They were armed with one rusty, unloadable gun, and five baseball bats.
Prof. Day Requested to Appoint Her Students to Take Charge Under Her Direction.
ure. ___
A temporary "Commons" was provided for by the regents at their meeting this morning, when a resolution was passed requesting Professor Day of Home Economics department to designate her students to take charge of a temporary lunch room in the basement of Fraser hall.
This action was taken after an audience with Burton Sears and J E. Miller, who had been appointed by the Men's Student Council to present the matter of eating facilities on the campus.
The resolution of the board is a follows:
"Resolved that Miss Day be requested to designate students of her department to take charge of a temporary lunch room in the basement of Fraser hall under some such arrangements as the following:
"First: That a list of those persons who will pay for at least tea coffee, or milk and sandwiches upon certain designated days at the noon hour as regular customers be secured;
"Second: That the University shall supply dishes, tables (or a counter) cooking utensils, and such nature as may be ordered by Miss Day.
"Third: That the price for this service shall be high enough to afford a moderate profit to the students conducting the service."

WORK IN ARCHITECTURE FOR NEXT SEMESTER
Regents Advise that Such a Department be Opened at Once. $^*$
MIGHT DO WORK FOR STATE
Designs for Bridges or Court House
Skyscrapers Would be Drawn
Papers of Charge
Free of Charge.
The opening of a department of architecture in the School of Engineering at the beginning of the second semester is probable, following action taken by the Board of Regents today.
Chancellor Strong was authorized to take such steps as seem best towards the introduction of courses in architecture, after consulting with Prof. M. P. McArdle, the architect of the Administration building.
That such a department should be established at the University and that it should take over the work of the state architect's office and furnish designs for all public buildings in the state was recommended recently to the state commission on biomass combustion by the committee on efficiency.
Professor McArdio, who is a St Louis architect, has given several lectures at the University, but no extended course.
NEW BOOKS AT LIBRARY.
Professor Johnson's Work on Carlyle is Now on the Shelves.
Three copies of a book on Thomas Carlyle by W. S. Johnson, assistant professor of English Literature, were received at Spooner library this week. One of the primary aims of the work, as mentioned in the preface is to render clearer to general readers the meaning and origin of Carlyle's "Sartor Resartus," as well an giving an account of the author's early life. It is published by the Yale University Press.
Among the other new books at the library which are of interest to the general reader are:
Lewis Molvle; Some Aspects of
hackery, published by Little Brown

POOR RICHARD SAYS
He that rishth last must trot all day, and shall scarce overtake his business at night, while laziness travels so slowly that Poverty soon overtakes him.
Eight Days TILL EXAMINATIONS.
NO DEBATE WITH MISSOURI?
Is Kansas going to meet Missouri in debate this year? At the last meeting of the Debating Council of the University, it was decided to reject the question submitted by Missouri and a letter was sent to the Debating Council at Missouri urging them to propose another question. If they refuse to do this debating relations may be broken off with them for this year.
It is to be hoped that Missouri will submit another question. Their original question was entirely too intricate and uninteresting to repay the debaters for the necessary work needed to work it up properly.
GOVERNOR WILSON'S VISIT.
The probable visit of Governor Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey to the University is a distinct compliment to this institution. As an ex-president of one of our largest universities, as a governor of one of the Eastern states, and as a candidate for the president's chair, he is highly regarded both as a statesman and as a scholar.
His visit to Kansas is, no doubt, in his political interest, but we may feel assured that when he is once again within the accustomed collegiate atmosphere, he will address the students on topics that are of general interest.
THE BASEBALL PROBLEM.
The University now has an opportunity to assume an athletic leadership. The other schools of the Missouri Valley Conference are admittedly waiting for Kansas to solve the knotty problem of summer baseball, as she has solved several other athletic puzzles in the few years past. It is the expressed opinion of all of the members of the conference baseball committee, that the University is in better position to produce the right solution than any other Missouri Valley School, because of her more centralized system of athletic control and because of the stronger demand of the student body for real amateur sport.
The athletic authorities here, expect soon to introduce a scheme whereby the baseball problem can be handled, but in order to make it a success, they must have the strong moral support of the students. The plan is to debar entirely, all athletes who have ever played baseball in any league which is supervised by the National Baseball Commission, but to allow men to try for the team who have accepted sums of money for games played in unorganized baseball, provided they promise not to accept pay for any further games they may play during their college career. This will permit men to play
for the sport that there is in the game, but will not professionalize them for having received money in the past nor for having played on teams with other paid players.
This plan is now being considered by the baseball committee of the conference, and unless that committee can strengthen the scheme, it will go into effect in all Conference schools this spring. However, it can never be successful unless the students of the University realize its merits and uphold it. This can be done only by creating a sentiment which will make every athlete live up to the ruling of the Conference.
Here is a chance for the University of Kansas to demonstrate that those schools which say that amateur baseball is impossible in colleges are wrong.
NEED OF CLASS SOCIETIES.
Class societies are comparatively a new thing at the University. It is only within the past few years that the need of these societies has become apparent, but the rapid growth of the student body has made them almost a necessity. With an enrollment that reaches over two thousand the common sentiment of the school is not easily obtained. Together with the growth of the school the several classes and Schools have come to have diversified interests and it is only on general University affairs that they all come together.
In order to advance the interests or all classes and to foster a better University spirit, the Sachems, the Friars, and the Black Helmets have been formed. The members of these societies are chosen as representatives of their class and it is incumbent upon them to take the initiative in matters that would be otherwise neglected.
The smoker given by the Black Helmets to the Sachems this week was the first of a series of informal meetings that the several societies have planned for each other. The good fellowship that was exhibited at this meeting can result in good not only for the individuals but for the University. Plans for class and school affairs were made and the result probably will be another big gathering of all the men of the University for a general good time, similar to the football smoker.
The class societies are young but they have proved their usefulness. Their influence will increase as they grow older and within the next few years membership in these orders will be reckoned as one of the University's choicest honors.
COLLEGE FASHION NOTES.
The Drake Delphic contains the following fashion note, but it spoils an otherwise good story by omitting the Kansas engineers and their green shirts;
Every college has a little fashion all its own. Indiana seniors wear corduroys exclusively. Wisconsin and Minnesota favor sweater jackets. Columbia sofas wear grey slush gowns as their royal insignia. Colorado freshmen wear green skull caps with a big red button on top. New Mexico affects the Mexico sombrero, and Wyoming the inevitable cowboy lid. It is whispered that Harvard students go to class in dress suits, and it is a well known fact that Drake students wear checked horsebackkerns for overcoats.
THE Lion went once a-hunting along with the Fox, the Jackal and the Wolf. They hunted and they hurried till at last they surprised a Stag, and so soon came the question how the spoil should be divided. "Quarter me this Stag" roared the Lion; so the other animals skimmed it and cut it into four parts. One took his stand in front of the carcass and gave me instruction: "The first quarter is for me my capacity as King of Beasts; my second is mine as arbitrer; another share comes to me for my part in the fourth quarter, well, as for that, I should like to see which of you will dare to lay a paw upon it."
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
"Humph," growled the Fox as he walked away with his tail between his legs; but he spoke in a low growl—You may share the lament of
may share the doors of the great but you will not share the spoil.
(With Apologies to S. H. Lewis, and George Ade).
ANOTHER "DUB"
Two Young Hopefuls had started forth from High School with the Awarded Intention of becoming Law Sharks. Before the Process of incubation had been fully Accomplished the Theory became Prevalent that one of the Eratwhile Advocates was a Dub. According the Principal Compressor of Elevated Knowledge of the Institution, where the two were Allowing Information to catch up with them, otherwise known as the Dean, called the Dub into his Sanctum and gently and Amiably placed Him in Juxtaposition with the Information that he was a Dub and would never be able to exert Leverage enough with his Gray Matter to make Twoveg Good Men and True believe Black was White and consequently extract the Mazuma from the Unsupertaining Populace and thus become famous as a Legal Luminary. He Counselled the Dub to return to his Pastures Green and busy himself in Personally Conducted Excursions with the Hens to the Aqua Receptacle. The Dub, believing that all the Wit and Wisdom of the Ages were Centered in the Dean, absorbed the Advice and returned to the Rural Regions where he broke the news to Father and Mother that the Legal Profession would have to Worry along without him in the Future.
The other Youth attended classes Once in a While and Pulled Good Grades without so much as opening a Text Book and his Instructors greatly Marveled and Predicted great things for his Futures because he was so Original that he Knew the Law without having to Delve in the Musty Volumes to Corner it.
He enjoyed his Moments by Escorting the Queens to the Nickel Parlors and otherwise being truly Frivolous.
In Due Course of Human Events the one who was not a Dub was Graduated from the great Brain Improvement Plant and went forth into the World firmly Convinced that he Had the Key to the Situation and would be Fixed for Life if he could find the Key-hole.
He finally decided that Birdcenter was the most Likely Place for a Bright Young Man with Talent and that there he could fill a Long Felt Want. He was Determined that he would Tackle the Law Business with an Agate Ware Heart and put the Old Boys out of Business in Crisp Time.
Within a Week he was sorry the Chair was not more heavily Upholstered. He wished he had placed a Mattress over the Seat of it. Every time a Step sounded on the Stair he had Palpitation of the Heart.
So he had a large Sign painted announcing that he was an Attorney, and looked around for a Convenient and Cheap place to hang it. He finally decided to Locate over the Undertaking Emporium as a Lively place so he bought a Desk and a Table and a copy of the General Statutes and "Somebody on Torts" and moved in .
About that time the Insurance Business began to look good to the Brilliant Youth and he decided to Embark in Insurance and leave the Law to Others.
He determined to Dispose of his Growing Practice and Embark as an Agent for an Insurance Company or a Patent Washing Machine.
Within three Months he found he would be unable to even Beat a Digitified Retreat.
After he had sold his Desk to the Two Hand Store and given the Chair with the Adamantine Bottom to a Deserving Creditor he Made Ready to Depart from the City that had been so Cruel to him .
As the Bright Youth whom the World had awaited with Open Arms boarded the Mixed Accommodation out of Town he Reflected and Pondered deeply and finally reached the Conclusion that You can't Always Tell and neither can the College Prof.
At the Wheel he noticed a Sunburned Person with a Face like Hali Done Toast and a Hand like a Seal Flipper who was smoking a Twobit Clear Havana. As he strained his Glims to get a Second Look at the strange Apparition he was able to Recognize the Dub and upon Inquiry the Proud and Haughty Personage who presided over the Destiny of the Railroad Company at that Station condescendingly confirmed his Worst Pears.
As he stood on the Depot Platform, taking a Last Look at the Painful Place of his Failure, a 1918 Model, One-Hundred-Elephant-Power Gasoline Wagon with all the New Inconveniences hove in Smelling Distance.

From Lafcadie Hearn's Japanese Letters:
THE JAPANESE STUDENT
-ROBERT HERRICK.
My grind has begun again. This tern twenty-one hours a week. Every year, I remark, they try to make my work more practical, and less theoretical. I have no books, and now three fresh conversation classes.
Japanese studets do not lack one thing—spontanity. Conversation must be always painfully forced by questions. Original questions original suggestions, original ideas are seldom uttered. They are written sometimes; but out of four hundred—no, out of fully one thousand that I have taught, I do not remember ten accustomed to ask or to say original things. Perhaps there were eight. Out of that eight, two are dead.
I have no belief in the worth of a literary course for Japanese students. The standard is too low. No class has sufficient mastery of English to feel an author nor even to understand the difference between poetry and prose. "Teacher! it is no use to put that into rhyme for us—we see no difference between prose and verse." I fancy the literary course must be of little value to those who follow it. The great rush is to the Law! The reason seems to be that this branch of study requires especially the strong faculty of Japanese students,—memory; while the scientific and technological branches require a faculty seldom developed among them to any degree,—mathematics. At least I imagine this to be the case. One disheartening thing the teacher has to face is that he need never expect to be able to influence his classes much through imagination—so powerful an auxiliary elsewhere,—not because his students have no imagination, but because he can offer them nothing capable of stimulating such imagination as they have. Now what the devil is the use of trying to teach English literature to a class totally insensible to European imagination? It is pure waste of time and money."
* * * * *
The other day some Japanese books were brought me to look at. On them was the name of the father of a student now at the university. The poor old man could only pay his son's expenses by selling his library,—a wonderful library. It is all scattered now. Nothing could be more touching than the history of the sacrifices being made every day in every part of Japan for the education of sons and daughters;—the unwritten goodness is the most wonderful.
"Once upon a time there was in Italy a man who was a very rich and most venerable.
Here is a specimen of an examination composition on the story of the Three Caskets (Merchant of Venice):
"He has a daughter, very beauty—the bride of the all village.
"She has this fate when her father has die,—then all his furniture was to fall on her.
"The father became old and sicked into his bed," and couldn't get up once more, and he foreseed that sick is the last sick of his life.
"So every man wanted to marriage to her.
"So he called his remarkable girlie to his bed and said,—I cannot get off of death, and I want a successor to my house—"
(I skip the instruction about the three caskets, and the description of the princes of Morocco and Arragon).
"This Prince chosen the casket of gold, and find inside the skeleton of the old man—which wondered him unfortunately.
"The other Prince choosened the casket of silver, and find a Tool-Man inside, and in slowly runned away."

I have used the Bell Brothers Piano for the past three years for teaching purposes at Baker University, and we use to which a piano may be put that will more severely trit it than the teaching of vocal music. I use the instrument individually satisfied with the Bell Brothers Piano. I use the piano about nine hours every day and find it necessary to have it tuned only two times a year. The great merit that I have achieved in the Bell Brothers Piano is that it will
stand a very great deal of hard work. There seems to be no particular "talking points" about the instrument—it is good all over. I feel perfectly free to heartily recommend it.

HUNGRY PROFESSORS
EAGER TO TRY MEALS
Besiege Domestic Science Girls, but They Can Not Be Served.
The department of Domestic Science has been beigeed by hungry professors, professors with curiosity, and each with twenty cents, who were eager to try out the meals served by the girls of the department.
Dr. Edna Day, head of the department of Domestic Science, stated yesterday that the girls of her department were not serving meals to professors or anybody else, except to those who are invited.
"The two girls who cook the experiment meals have the privilege of asking two guests," said Dr. Day, "sometimes these guests are professors. That is the reason why some people gained the idea that we were serving meals to anyone who had twenty cents. But we are not."
Baseball Rooting Good.
Mr. Clarence Ireland, a former University student, who is now attending Chicago University has been visiting in Lawrence, during the past week.
It must be a hard thing to be a baseball fan once a day and sometimes twice a day, and work up just as much enthusiasm every time. Cecil Lean, who is doing the part of a baseball fan in "Bright Eyes" at the Bowersock theater tomorrow night, found it a hard strain upon his voice. However, he has become accustomed to the song and now can deliver "He's a Fan, Fan, Fan" with all the vim and enthusiasm of a crazy rooter at a real ball game.—Ady

WILL GO TO EUROPE TO STUDY FOOD SUPPLY
Prof. E. H. S. Bailey Granted Leave of Absence by Regents.
Four month's leave of absence was granted today by the Board of Regents to Prof. E. H. S. Bailey for the purpose of enabling him to make investigations of the source of food supply in several European countries. Professor Bailey will start on his trip sometime in February. He will go first to Italy and from there to Switzerland and Germany. Mrs Bailey will accompany him.
The results of Professor Bailey's investigations abroad will be used in his forthcoming book on the source of food supply. He will pay particular attention to the production of foods in the countries he visits, to the methods of marketing, and to the practice of adulteration. His plan is to give his work the widest possible scope and to make it as effective as possible in advancing the cause of pure foods.
Professor Bailey's leave of absence covers the time until commencement. He will prolong his stay abroad during the summer.

Kansas college women are interested in the Intercollegiate Bureau of Occupations which opened an office in New York City last September. The agency is established for the purpose of helping college women, who are prepared for the profession and higher grades of commercial employment, to obtain good positions, and of bringing together the girls with brains and the job waiting for the girl who has learned how to use her intelligence.
The college-trained woman knows that there is a steady demand for teachers. But, the young women who have chosen other vocations have been forced to face uncertainties, and have learned that a diploma is not necessarily an open sesame to fame and fortune.

CORNHUSKERS MEET GYMNASIUM TO BE JAYHAWKER FIVE AN ART GALLERY
First Conference Game Wil Be Played in the Gym Tonight.
RESULT IS MUCH IN DOUBT
Nebraska Team Composed of Vetera Goal Tossers—Kansas Lacks Condition and Workwork.
The game with Nebraska tonight will open the Conference schedule for Hamilton's Athletes. The result will not be considered in deciding the valley championship however. The reason for this lies in the fact that the Cornhuskers play in the northern division while the Jayhawkers are a southern section team.
Nebraska is without doubt the team most to be feared in the race for basketball supremacy in the Conference. Three of their men Captain Frank, Gibson, and Carrier are veteran players. Gibson is playing in his old position at forward. His size coupled with his goal shooting ability makes him dangerous. Gibson will also be remembered as the Nebraska fullback in the late lamented session of November 18, 1911. Owen Frank is playing at guard again this year. He was conceded to be the all around star of the five last year. It is possible that a few may recall some other of his past performances. Carrier is playing his second year on the varsity and according to this season's press notices is carrying away the honors for individual playing.
The Kansas team is far from its best form and it would not be surprising if Nebraska took one game. The men lack condition and with a heavy team as their opponents they are handicapped at the outset. Better team work than any produced by the defense, but players played before the locals can hope to successfully overcome the Nebraska defense.
Nebraska has already won two Conference games in her division n the last of these Drake was defeated by a 35 to 14 score.
Last night at Manhattan the Cornhuskins defeated the Aggies by the score of 28 to 25. Nebraska was trailing up to the last three minutes of play. In that three minutes they overcame a lead of eight points and a lead of nine seconds for the invaders. Carrier and Frank starred for the Nebraskans.
The probable line up of the opposing teams is as follows:
Kansas Nebraska
Brown . . . . . . . . . rf . . . . . . . . . Gibson
Stuckey . . . . . . . . . lf . . . . . . . . . Nagie

Pictures of Letter Men Wil Be Hung on the Track.
In order that every "K" man may be better known individually to the students and general public, it is the intention of the athletic department to have a picture made of each man who has ever won a K and hang it in the corridors and rooms of Robinson gymnasium.
Besides this a K book is to be started in which “K” men will each be given a page. A small picture of the man will be put on his page, his name, residence and record will be entered and the game or meet in which he took part together with the attendance, receipts and even the phone numbers given out on that occasion will be recorded. The records will commence
with men as far back as they are able to be traced. The book will be kept in Coach Hamilton's office where during the athletic season entries may be made in it daily.
The opening of this system will better enable the athletic authorities to keep track of the "K" men and will do away with so many "spindle shanks" and "chicken chests" grafting into games on their big brother's fraternity coach. Coach Hamilton said this fraternity would the future each "K" man would be asked to present a picture of himself to the athletic management.
Not only will the pictures of the individual men be hung in the gymnasium but also almost fifty different pictures of football, baseball and other athletic contests of preceding years with the scores and result noted. These pictures will be hung within the next few weeks.

The vacancy caused by Osborne's departure puts the track team in a bad fix for distance men. It will now be necessary to develop entirely new material for the long grids.
Osborne was one of the men who figured strongly in the hopes of the Kansas team for a successful season this spring. Formerly weak in track events it was thought that at least the man had been developed to be sure to register points for Kansas in the mile and two mile events.

University's Star Athletes Will Establish a Clubroom in the Gymnasium
PLANS TO BE MADE TONIGHT
Vill Publish Athletic Directory and Entertain High School
After the basket-ball game tonight the athletes of the University will meet at the Sigma Chi house for the purpose of reorganizing the K. club. All the men who have gained the honor of wearing the University uniforms of the club regardless of the sport in which the letter was won.
The K. club was first organized in 1909. The intention of it at that time was to rent a house and manage the organization as a club. A table was to be run and the various teams were to eat together there during their respective training season.
The club fell by the wayside the following year. One of the reasons for its failure was the opposition of the authorities to the operation of a table as an evasion of the rule against the training table.
The athletes of the University have felt the loss of the club severely during the past two years and have decided to reorganize in order that the men in the various teams may have a common meeting ground. The meeting tonight is the first step in that direction.
It is planned to fit up club room in the gymnasium where the men may meet and from which the club's activities may be directed.
One of the enterprises suggested for the club is the compilation of arithmetic directory of the University giving a history of the athletic attainments of all the men who wear the K, and a record of all the performances of all the teams that have over represented the red and blue members all but twelve photographs of teams and individual uals.
The club will also arrange a campaign for the purpose of interesting the best high school athletes in K U. athletics and for the encouraging their attendance at the University.

VOLUME IX.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 22, 1912.
WILL START COMMONS BY NEXT SEMESTER
NUMBER 5
Will Make a Lunch Room of Old Kansan Office in Frazier.
DR. DAY'S GIRLS WILL HELP.
Patronizers Must Signify Intention of Regularity—Men Need Not Fear "Fluffy Deserts."
The many half-starved students who are anxiously awaiting the opening of the temporary commons which the regents recommended last week, will be reassured by the statement of Dr. Edna Day, head of the Domestic Science department, that they shall finish their lunches will probably be served not later than the beginning of the second semester.
The old Kanan office in the basement of Fraser hall will be the scene of the feasts which will save the feeble, the corpulent, and the lazy a walk down the hill at noon. "I will have no trouble getting girls from the department to undertake the project," said Dr. Day this morning. "Several have spoken to me already about the matter. The equipment must be procured of course, and many other details arranged so that our start cannot be made at once."
The tentative plans are to arrange for only those who signify their desire to patronize the commons although some food will always be on hand to use in emergency cases.
"Several persons have expressed the fear that we will only serve 'salads and fluffy desserts';" Miss Day said: "but I can assure the men students particularly, that such will not be the case."
Good idea, isn't it?
"Shucks! Forgot to write that letter to the folks—Well, they'll get the Daily Kansan I'm having sent to them, and that will tell them a lot more than I could write."
If you are already a reader of the Daily Kansan, why not subscribe for the home folks? We'll mail it to them promptly every day and pay the Postmaster, too.

STUDENTS TAKE UNCLE
SAM'S EXAMINATION
A civil service examination was held at the Lawrence Business college yesterday for the position of assistant chemist in the department of Agriculture at Washington, D. C.
The following University students took the examination: Gilbert Bragg, Arch MacKinnon, Edmund Rhodes, J. T. Myers, Charles Robinson, C. L. Pyle, George Weith, and Prof. F. F. Rupert.
C. C. Spilman took an examination for Government Drug Inspector at the same time.
HARRY WILKINS TAKEN
TO UNIVERSITY HOSPITAI
Harry Wilkins, a senior in the College, was taken to the University Hospital at Rosedale, last week, suffering from a severe attack of inflammatory rheumatism.

WENT HOME "FUSSED" WHEN JANITOR DONE HIS DUTY
In talking about the idea today, Roy Stockwell, the general secretary of the association, said: "Each address will be distinctively religious. We are getting in touch with business and professional men who look upon their particular work as just high a calling as that of the minister or the missionary; men who see in their work primarily an opportunity for service. Such men may be scarce but I know there are such men and we can get them. We had a few such men last year and there is no question about their appeal "to the students."
HOW THEIR RELIGION APPLIES TO BUSINESS
The Y. M. C. A. of the University has on foot plans to bring to the University some of the biggest business and professional men of the Missouri valley to deliver a series of addresses dealing with their respective occasions. This series of talks is being arranged by the association under the direction of the following committee: Dean F. O. Marvin, Prof. W. L. Burdick, Prof. A. J. Boynton, Dean C. H. Johnston, Prof. R. R. Rice, and Prof. Merle Thorpe. A number of men in Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City have already expressed a willingness to speak at these meetings and others are in prospect.
It was in front of the Museum, this morning when the snow began to melt and invite idle hands into mischief.
Chancellor Frank Strong has accepted an invitation to speak before the Kansas club in Chicago at their huest onquet on Kansas Day. January 29.
Wichita, Topeka and Kansas City Men Will Address
The club is composed of Chicago people who formerly resided in Kansas and it has been customary for several years to give a banquet on the anniversary of the day when Kansas was admitted to the Union. Chancellor Strong's subject for his address has not yet been announced.
CHANCELLOR TO CHICAGO
Students.
Will Address The Kansas Club There on Kansas Day.
She was a freshman girl, hurrying home from class when—
Swish! And something hit the walk behind her.
Table Lights will be provided in the library in accordance with a resolution passed by the regents. An inspection of the reading room was made by a committee of the regents and it was decided that the high light were hard on the eyes.
Moisture pans are to be placed throughout the stack rooms. It was found that the heat is drying up the books, especially those on the top shelves.
LIBRARY READING ROOM
TO HAVE TABLE LIGHTS
"It's only a snowball," she said to herself, and pretended not to notice that somebody had thrown at her.
Swish! And another smack on the walk behind her.
"Oh!" She almost jumped then,
Another "swish!" as more snow struck the walk where the girl had been—and another, and another, as the men who were cleaning off the roof of the Museum shoveled on. But the freshman girl was too far away to hear.
but she didn't look around—only half way around—and hurried on. "The mean things," she said, and an imagination of their gritting faces tormented her.
one went on down the hill wondering
he University men could be so childish.
SHE "FOUND" HIS JAW,-- BUT WAS IT A FLUKE?
It happened on the corner of Tennessee and Adams, at that slippery place just below Lee's, where you always feel as if you had a pair of roller skates on your shoe soles.
The girl looked peaceful enough. She was walking down the hill, rather timidly picking her way past the easiest places on the sidewalk. She didn't look wrathful nor did she carry a dangerous weapon, unless you would so classify the large leather hand bag in her left hand. The young student who was crossing Tennessee and met the girl at that particularly slick slope, however, probably thinks even yet that he has withstood the attack of a militant suffragette.
It was like this. Just as the two
were passing, the young woman took a quick and entirely involuntary notion to coast. Then, although her feet had already started to act, she, womanlike, changed her mind.
In a noble effort to regain her balance she thrust her arms forward with no uncertain vim, swinging the heavy sand bag—that is, hand bag—around in semi-circular fashion and giving the surprised student a vigorous upercut; hitting him at that vulnerable point just back of the lower jaw bone, which pugilists know so well.
By the time the dazed young man recovered his composeure, the girl was hurrying north on Tennessee to a farm near her from her fall has a cracked bracteate.
UNIVERSITY TO HUNT TIS AT MIDNIGHT'S WATER FOR WICHITA SOLEMNICHOLY HOUR
egents Send Prof. Hawor to Make a Survey for Municipal Plant.
WILL W. S. G. A. GET DISAPLINARY CONTROL
Professor and Mrs. J. N. Van der Vries of the Mathematics department, who has been ill all winter, left for El Paso, Texas, Friday morning. During his absence Prof. C. H. Ashton will act as chairman of the department. Mr. A. A. Seipt of the German department will occupy Prof. Van der Vries' house during his absence.
THE VAN DER VRIES OFF
FOR THE SUNNY SOUTH
At the request of the city of Wichita, the reents of the University Friday selected Prof. Erasmus Haworth, head of the department of geology, to make a water survey for the new municipal waterworks system to be installed at that place. This action was taken after Chancellor Strong assured the Regents that this work would not interfere with Professor Haworth's regular duties at the University.
The plan at Wichita is to obtain the water from the ground, and it is for the purpose of ascertaining the depth, amount and quality of the underground water that the services of Professor Haworth are desired. At present, water is shipped into Wichita from Newton and Conway Springs and peddled from door to door.
Question of Discipline Wi be Decided at Meeting Tomorrow.
The University Council, the governing body of the University, has offered the Woman's Student Government association the power to discipline the women students. However, before taking over the absolute control of the womens' conduct, the Woman's Council will obtain the sentiment of the girls themselves upon the different rules.
Whether or not the women wish to be disciplined by their representatives in the Woman's Student Council will be decided by the women of the University in a mass meeting to be held in the chapel tomorrow morning immediately after the chapel services.
An important question which will be decided at the meeting will be the retention or the abolishment of the week night date rule. This rule has been in effect since last spring. While the rule against the dates has been obliterated by the number of the girls, there are some who are willing to obey all rules of conduct except that touching upon their social life.
University Council Draws New Deadline—Seniors Get Exams.
C. H. ASHTON
Charles Benton, a freshman in the College, has been forced to withdraw from school on account of his eyes. He has returned to his home in Fort Scott.
-
The petition of the seniors to be excused from final examinations in cases where a grade of 2 had been made in the year's work was denied.
The Council removed certain territory from the sphere of influence of the eligibility committee by ruling that participants in the Fine Arts Opera and the work of the orchestra shall not be placed under the prevailing eligibility restrictions.
The dead line on all student affairs held on the campus is twelve o'clock at night, with the exception of the Junior Prom which is permitted to run until 2 o'clock a.m. This ruling was adopted by the University Council at a meeting held Friday afternoon.
Since debates, basket-ball games, band practice, and similar events have little tendency to last beyond the "solemur hour," about the only practical effect of the ruling will be to limit the Sophomore Prom. The Council took further steps to "denature" this affair by requesting the class to find for it some other name. The name "party" was suggested. It is the policy to make the Junior Prom the one big, unapproachable event of the year.
The committee having in charge scholarships for women students was formally denominated "The com-munities" scholarships to aid women students."
WHERE IS THE MONEY FOR UNION BUILDING?
Large-Pledges Made, But No Report Has Been Prepared.
Mint De Korte
John Devlin, '05, has been selected for instructor in chemistry at the Fort Scott high school.
This is the first line set on the MONQTYPE.
The monotype in the plant of the department of journalism was put into operation at 3:15 this afternoon. With this added equipment it will be possible hereafter to issue the Daily Kansan at 3 o'clock sharp.
No reports from the students who solicited funds for the Men's Union Building during the Christmas holidays has been received by the Men's Student Council, who initiated the campaign.
"I have personal knowledge of several pledges from Douglas county," he said this morning. "Two men game $600 toward the building, and I have no doubt that there are other contributions which are just as good."
Arch MacKinnon, president of the Council desires that reports be given to him at the earliest possible date.
Professor of Mathematics Who Will Direct the Work of His Department during the Absence of Professor Van der Vries.
JOIN HANDS IN WORK AT HASKELL INSTITUTE
Y. M, and Y. W. C. A, United in Holding Classes at Indian School.
At the cabinet meeting of the Young Women's Christian Association last Thursday night it was decided to unite forces with the Men's Association in the work now being carried on at Haskell Institute. The Y. W. C. A. has been holding Bible and gymnasium classes on Monday nights at the Institute for two years. Now six young women and six young men will go out every Tuesday night, for Bible classes, while the gymnasium classes will continue to be held on Monday evenings.
WILL TAKE UNIVERSITY TO THE "HOME FOLKS"
These young people will have a normal course to study the best methods of teaching these classes for the Indians. A regular ten week's course will begin the first Tuesday in February, the subject to be "Jesus, the Man of Galilee, and using a regular text book.
There is no provision made at the Institute for gymnasium work among the girls. The physical director for the men is new this year and has had no opportunity to do anything for the girls. These Monday evening classes are under the direction of Miss Bertha Mix and supply a much needed opportunity for these Indian girls.
Supt. Wise of Haskell is very heartily in favor of this work. He considers it one of the greatest benefits that can come to the Indiana. For disciplinary reasons, the students there cannot come in contact freely with outside people. It is through this contact with the University students even more then the teacher that the benefit is gained. The plan has been used at Carlisle for a long time, students from Dickinson college going out regularly, and it is very much in favor there.
This work is under the direction of the Practical Service Committee with Miss Mary Redding at the head. It affords a fine laboratory opportunity for students interested in social work and there is still room for other workers with this entitled thirty year in four Bible classes and under the Y. M. C. A. boys will also be taught.
Because of examinations there will be no regular meeting this week or next. The next regular meeting will be on Wednesday, February 8.
Dean and Mrs. M. T. Sudler, and Dean and Mrs. S. J. Crumbine entertained the medical faculty and students Friday evening at Dean Sudler's home, 805 Tennessee street.
Extension Department Has Prepared Lantern Slides of K. U. Scenes.
RALPH SPOTTS WILL LECTUREF
Contests, Etc.
People in All Parts of the State Will See Buildings, Athletes.
In the next few months persons in all parts of Kansas will be given the opportunity of visiting the University without leaving their homes. talph Spotts, of the University Extension department, has prepared aeries of lantern slides of scenes and activities at the University, which ie will show in different cities and owns throughout the state.
These lantern slides include pictures of all of the University buildings, many interior scenes and students at work in the shops and laboratories. A large number of the slides contain tests including football games, track meets and the like in the past year are shown.
Spotts has prepared a lecture to accompany the slides and in an hour a person can view the entire University, which would require a visit of two or three days in Lawrence: The extension department will send the slides to Kansas high schools which ask for them.
SENIOR GIRLS WILL HOLD "TAFFY FULL" IN GYM.
At the meeting of the senior girls today it was decided to give a taffy-pull in the gymnasium February 2. Only the senior girls will be invited. In order to raise $50.00 for the dormitory fund, each senior girl will give fifty cents.
Fine thing for a Laurence Merchant to be able to meet two thousand University students and all the members of the faculty every day, protect them in a friendly way, support them in a professional especially attractive in his store.
That, Mr. Merahan, is what you have an opportunity to do through the columns of the University Daily Kansan. Ring our business manager will call and talk it over.

SUMNER HERE THURSDAY
Talk on Some Aspects of Civic and Social Progress.
"Some Aspects of Civic and Social Progress" is the subject of the address that the Rev. Walter Taylor Summer, chairman of the Vice Commission of Chicago will deliver in Fraser hall Thursday, January 25 at 2:45 p. m. This address is open to the University and the public.
Lectured on Spain.
Prof. A. L. Owen, of the Spanish department, gave a lecture on Toledo, at the Uititarian church, Sunday evening. Professor Dionn Illustrated the lecture with views on his recent trip through Spain.
C. A. Burnett, a junior law from Girard, and Clifford Sullivan, a middle law from Burron, have pledged to Phi Alpha Delta, the legal fraternity.
UNCLE JIMMY ON WARPATH--
HIS SCHEDULE WAS SWIPED
Uncle Jim is angry. Last Friday some unseruptulous rascal committed larceny in the building and this morning the Dean is out after the scalp of the culprit.
Uncle Jimmy spent several hours last week fixing a schedule of the classes in the school of Law for next term and had it securely locked in his bulletin board. Evidently some youthful bulrister desired to obtain this schedule as a memento of the Dean. Anyway,
when the building was opened this morning it was found that the lock had been forced and the schedule was gone.
Immediately the Dean got busy and within a few minutes had posted a letter on the board in which he excoriated the culprit and promised immediate expulsion from school if he was wrong. He walked around daily walking on their toes and attempting to look innocent whenever the Dean comes in sight.

POOR RICHARD SAYS
But door thou love life, then do not sound time, for that is the stuff life.
ONLY FIVE TINY DAYS MORE
The man who asked the department of University extension to send him some material on the "short ballet," evidently expects to have a kick coming if his request is not heeded.
ARE WE APPRECIATIVE?
Within a few days the annual art exhibition at the University will be opened. In the past years during which these exhibitions have been held, the attendance at them has been large, but the student body as a whole has not expressed the proper appreciation of the efforts of those who obtained them. That the exhibitions were some of the best in the United States was acknowledged, but there was a seeming lack of art appreciation by the students.
Recently a piano recital was given in Fraser hall by one of the most famous pianists in the United States. The smallness of the number of University people present did not show a proper appreciation of the privilege of hearing a great performer.
This gives rise to a question: do the members of the student body fully recognize the advantages they have while at the University to see and hear the best artists, musicians, lecturers, educators, and others famous in their lines of work?
Last year similar addresses were given which were attended largely by those who were forced to go.
During the approaching spring opportunity will be given to hear lectures by several famous American educators.
A plea of lack of time may probably be made. But when the chance is offered to hear or see something that is out of the ordinary, a sacrifice, if necessary, ought to be made. Such a sacrifice never will be regretted in future years.
THE EDUCATOR IN POLITICS.
Referring to the break between Woodrow Wilson and Colonel George Harvey, of Harper's Weekly, Henry Watterson, of the Louisville Courier-Journal, says he found in the former "rather a schoolmaster than a statesman." The words of the Southern editor quite naturally give rise to the question as to what in the minds of the people, is the distinction between a schoolmaster and a statesman. Just what elements are combined in educators that are not to be found in the man to whom is entrusted the affairs of state?
There seems to be a fetish of the American people that educators pedagogues, school-teachers, or professors belong to a caste which is separate and distinct from the other classes of American life. They are regarded as having a great work to do, but when it comes to allowing them to mix in the affairs of government, they are under suspicion of be
ing incompetent. It has always been so. A professor has a hard time to break into politics.
Apparently Governor Wilson was an exception. To Colonel Harvey, to Colonel Watterson and to others interested in a growing Democracy, he appeared to possess the mentality of a great educator coupled with the sagacity, diplomacy, and political acumen of a statesman.
Now it has been discovered that Mr. Wilson is a disappointment, that he knows enough but doesn't know how to use it; Colonel Watterson calls it his "character and temperament."
Whether or not Governor Wilson would make a good president can only be settled, of, course, if he should be elected. He may be chosen to fill the president's chair and he may never be nominated. No matter which way it goes he has to thank his prominence in the academic field for the outcome. If he is made chief executive, it will be because he is recognized as having a wonderful keenness of intellect which fits him to give a rational consideration to our national problem. If he is defeated, either for nomination or for election, it will probably be because he is a "schoolmaster."
In the approaching contest it will be interesting to note the attitude of the American people toward a foremost educator.
The Daily Illini reports a student in its department of architecture as saying that humidity is measured by an instrument called the humidor, so to speak. Using the same line of reasoning, profanity is probably measured by a cuspidor, as it were.
A GOOD SUGGESTION.
A suggestion of a benefit performance for the poor by University students carries with it a sentiment that ought to appeal to every thinking student. The ability of the student body to produce an entertainment that would be attractive is unquestioned. It offers to them an opportunity to put into use those high principles of altruism that are taught here.
Prof. George D. Baker, of Harvard, who is head of the Drama League of Boston, recently said that hissing in heaters is entirely proper and that f American audiences use it discreetly a better drama will result. As dramatic critics certain Yale students are without peers today.
MEN WHO DO.
There are always men about a university who are respected on account of their capacity for hard work coupled with an ability to take a prominent part in student activities at the same time. It is a noticeable fact that these men are usually the most willing to assume responsibility and do things when the opportunity arises andower activities are ready to excuse themselves with the plea that they are "too busy."
If the methods of the former type of men are analyzed it will be found that they are systematic, alert and determined. They make every minute count. They are able to do much because they attempt much. While men of the other sort are narrowing their capabilities by constant refusal they are not preparing themselves for the exacting demands of a very broad world—The Daily Iowa.
AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
The Crow lifted up her head and began to caw her best, but the moment she opened her mouth the piece of cheese fell to the ground, only to be swapped up by Master Fox. "That will work," he said all the time in exchange for your cheese. I will give you a piece of advice for the future—
A FOX once saw a Crow fly off with a piece of chere in its beak and settle on a branch of a tree. "That's for me, as I am a bird," she said. "I walked up to the foot of the tree. 'Good-day, Mistress Crow,' he cried. 'How well you are looking today: how glossy your feathers; how bright your eye. I feel sure your voice must strip that of other birds, just as your figure does; let me hear but one song the bird may greet you the Queen of birds."

HE'LL NEVER FORGET 'EM
"Pip Daniels" in the Howard Courant.
During the fall of 1908, I was a student at the University of Kansas, and boarded at the "Smith House," at 1145 Louisiana street, Lawrence. It was really a girl's rooming house but Mrs. Smith's table accommodated quite a number of boarders who roomed elsewhere. That fall there were twenty-eight girls and six boys around the table
The eats were about the same as at other places for $3.00 a week, but we paid $4.00. The "society" made up the other dollar, and it was well worth it. Mrs. Smith served "lunch" on Sunday alone was worth 75c. The only difference between lunch and dinner was pie.
Several eminent people besides myself paid weekly tribute to Mrs. Smith. There was Dr. Hyde, who taught physiology in the medical school, and who, it was said, was one of the best authorities on human anatomy and physiology in America. She was said to be very fierce in her classes, but she certainly did not look fierce.
Among the young people around the board was one "Doc." Teachener, of the Teacher-Bartberger Engraving Co., of Kansas City, an innocent looking chap with a violent love affair. He had a habit of dissecting his piece of chicken in a professional manner and naming the bones, muscles and nerves in an uncanny sort of way, and the girls would lose their appetite and he'd get their chicken.
And there was Prof. Carruth, vice-cancellor of the University, and noted as a German linguist and litteraturer. He is said to have mastered every dialect extant in the German language and is the author of several able works on the same. He is a little, frail-looking man, very kind and gentle in manner and speech, always well liked by the young people. Prof. Bates, a historian of note, boarded there a month while his cook was on a vacation.
Then there was an Irishman with the odd name of Casey, who was inclined to be poetic, but otherwise harmless; "Bilco" Coors, my roommate, who always sat in silence looking like he was "up to something," and he usually was; one Edward Schauffler, son of a professor in the Rosedale clinical department of the K. U. medical school; Marin Sapp of Galena, known as "Sappy," daughter of Bill Sapp; Helen Schott of Leavenworth, who was homesick so much that when she wasn't crying we wondered what was the matter; and Hazel Stiles, also from Leavenworth, who was good natured and dropped her h's and
But what if I fail of my purpose here?

and let them laugh at a fall.
And, baffled, get up one more time.

stammered when she got excited; Stilesy's roommate, Charlie Crossen, from Missouri, who hated Kansas and everything in Kansas. We called her Car Line Crossing, Alberta Cresswell, of Kansas City, was four feet and six inches high and had a mezzo-soprano voice. She was called "The Egg," "Cressy," and "Tidiedly-Wink."
And then there were two Ray-
mond girls, and Bijou meisenheimer,
from Hiwatha, and Mrs. Smith's laucher, Charline.
We had famous visitors every few days-Wm. Allen White, Chancellor Strong, Tub Reed, Tommy Johnson and -er-Harry Kemp...
and see- Harry Kemp ...
But as I was saying, the society at the Smith House was surely worth the money. After dinner the survivors put in the time before their beaux cues, dancing, playing cards, smoking, (no the boys) singing and marrying. If anybody ever arrived in the Smith House, they did it in the wee sma'r hours, or the day time, because no one could write a theme in that house in the evening for the noise. When school began in the fall and the boarders were not well acquainted, they said: "Oh, Mr. Danyuls, won't you please see if you can reach the sugar." Later on, about Christmas it was, 'Pip! Shut up an' shoot the salve!" meaning me and the butter.
I was usually treated better than the rest of the boys, because I was the only one who could play dance music who didn't always "someone be like" and let me dance. Making of the girls who who taught a foreign language in school took French, and then I was popular, for I was a sophomore and had had beginning French, and the upper class-ladies were translating "Les Miscarriés" and short stories by Daubet, which I knew by heart, almost. All the rest of the boys there were either engineers or medics, and consequently knew nothing anyway, so I was the general grand vizier for the whole bunch. I had to quit at the beginning of the spring term, and gave me a farewell party one night, and the last night I was in Lawrence. I sat by at table a date with her fiancée to go to a show with me. I never forget the Smith House, nor the "bunch," nor the landlady nor the grub.
THE SCHOLARLY JEW
Superior scholarship has distinguished the Jewish people since they became scattered among the nations of the world, and this scholarship has been nowhere more apparent than in Biblical love. It is therefore of importance that a course of Jewish scholars is prepared in preparing a new English version of the Bible—that is, of course, of the Old Testament.
The present English version now used by Jewish congregations is that of Isaac Leeser, which was published about 50 years ago. It is interesting to know that the text, so far as possible, is intuitive, but prof Max L. Margolis of Dropsie college, editor-in-chief of the work, differs but slightly from the King James version and still less from the "revised version."
OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
The Jewish Encyclopedia is a recent evidence of the fine scholarship of American Hebrews. The new work, which is to be published by the Jewish publication society of America, may be expected to be of first-class merit—Springfield Republican.

WOMEN CANNOT WORK REFORMS WITH BALLOT
Mrs. McCarter of Topeka Says they Are Already Qualified for Suffrage.
NOT A QUESTION OF RIGHT
Education, Organization, And Individual Effort Acquire Ballot—All These Forces Working Now.
"I do not believe that the ballot for women will work a great and lasting reform in politics," said Margaret Hill McCarter of Topeka last Sunday night at the Presbyterian church in her lecture before the Equal Suffrage Franchise League of Douglas county.
"If all these good men who have had the ballot for so many years have not been able to make the re-entry, we expect the ren's vote to do it?"
"I don't think that it is a question of the 'right' to vote that is at stake. We don't have to argue for a woman's right to the ballot. She has that already and we must simply obtain the franchise for her. There are 149 reasons why women should have the suffrage and the first is that they have a right to vote—the others don't count.
"There are three things that women must have before they can acquire the suffrage. They are education, organization and individual effort. We have had the first for the past twenty-five years and are effecting the organization now. The individual effort apparently seems to be the last factor to begin work for us, but it has been started now."
Mrs. McCarter is the author of "The Price of the Prairie," and "The Peace of Solomon Valley."

Prof. G. A. Gesell, head of the department of Public Speaking of the University is doing much work over the state for the Bureau of Civic and Social Center Development of the University Extension Division.

ELECTRIC STOVES NOW
Electric stoves in the domestic science department of a high school may have been regarded in the past as an extravagance. But they are now being used by the Hiwatiana high school according to Ralph J. Mays, University Extension Division. This is the only high school in the state, thus far visited by Mr. Spotts, possessing this modern convenience.

CATCH AS CATCH CAN BOUTS WERE STAGED
Alleged Basket Ball Games Were High Class Wrestling Tournaments.
NEBRASKA WON BOTH FALLS.
The Contestants Were Adept With The Toe Hold, Strangle Hold, And The Other Holds.
One of those surprises that are always to be expected in athletics, no matter whether they are appreciated or not, was uncovered Friday and Saturday nights of last week.
The particular surprise that the Cornhusker-Jayhawker contest had in store was a demonstration that the points of similarity of basket bail and wrestling are numerous to say the least.
Hon. F. Gotch himself could have exhibited no better assortment of holds than did the teams that had been expected to stage two performances of Dr. Naismith's pet pastime
The catch as as catch can tactics were not displayed by one team only. No indeed! The heavyweights used their hammerlocks and half nelsons at more opportune times, that was all. The local men were inclined more to the use of the toe hold. "Red" Brown was particularly successful.
In the first game each team counted fifteen fouls, fully three-fourths of which were of the personal variety. In the second contest Nebraska was the chief offender fouling fifteen times. The best Kansas could do was six little fouls.
Friday Night's Game.
All in all the games were fine ones for the spectators. There was plenty to laugh about, plenty to yell about, and several things to howl about. What more is wanted for a basket-ball game?
Tue, Jan 27
Nebraska took the first game 30 to 26. It seemed that there was no chance for a Kansas defeat at the end of the first half. The men in the red and blue had outplayed and outgoneled their heavier opponents, and the score stood 15 to 11 in Kansas favor.
The Score:
"Red" Brown was the Kansas star while Gibson did the best work for the Cornhuskers.
in the second half the Cornuskones' superior strength and condition began to tell and the local men were put on the defensive. The Nebraskans gradually overcame Kansas' lead, then slowly forged ahead. The final whistle found them four points in the lead.

Saturday Night's Game.

The second game appeared to be a very even contest the first two minutes. Nebraska then burst into the lead and was never headed. The half ended 15 to 9 with Kansas clearly outplayed.
The second period promised to be even worse than the first. The Nebraska forwards gathered three goals in less than five minutes.
Then it was that Kansas came to life. Every Cornhusker foul was a Jayhawker score while the addition of three field goals brought the local men to within a point of their opponents.
Only one basket was needed to win. Then our old friend O. Frank attached the crepe. From the middle of the court he hit the ball in the basket and the game was over. Final count Nebraska 30, Kansas 27.

K. CLUB MEETING HELD
Better Men Discussed the Wearing of a Recognition Pin.
At the meeting of the K club last Friday night at the Sigma Chi house a committee was appointed to draft a constitution for the organization.
Resolutions were adopted furthering plans for the wearing of recognition pins by every letter man of the University. It had been planned to give each athlete an aluminium card which would entitle him to admission to all University contests, but a more careful consideration of the plan showed that it had many faults. The plan of recognition pins was then decided upon.
It is probable that the club will fit out the trophy room in the gym for its use. Regular meetings will be held there when plans are completed.
Eighteen men of the 35 "K" men in the University were present at the meeting. The following officers and members were elected: President, Heil Heil; Vice President, George Stuckey; Recording Secretary, Earl Ammons; Corresponding Secretary, Ellis Davis; Treasurer, William French; Archiver, Tod Woodbury.
Associate members are Chancellor Frank Strong, Dean J. W. Green W. O. Hamilton and R. W. Sherwin. The honorary membership consists of all "K" alumni.
YALE TO HAVE NEW STANDS
Committee Reports in Favor o
Erecting Seats For 60,000.
A committee appointed from the Alumni Association of Yale University for the purpose of investigating the athletic facilities of the school have reported in favor of many improvements..
The committee recommends a permanent fireproof stand completely surrounding the football field, with a capacity of not less than sixty thousand seats, is called for, as well as a separate fireproof stand for the ballfield field, with which, if feasible, facilities for track athletics will be combined.
If it is decided a separate field for track athletics is wanted a stand with a capacity of ten thousand will be considered.
A club house or field gymnasium, properly equipped and with a large general meeting room, is also called for.—N. Y. Herald, (Jan. 5).
Girl Manages Football.
Tulane University is about the only one that can boast of having a girl to manage the football squad. This young woman has all the affairs of the gridiron warriors to look after. She confers with the coach and he is in complete charge of all the trips the team makes.
Shower Bath in High School. Shower baths for both boys and girls are to be installed in the basement of the new high school building at Wathena, Kansas. The school also has a good-size gymnasium.
A few extra places at the Co-op Club at 1345 Ky. Terms, $3.50 per week. Bell 445.
The score made by the University rifle team in the first match shoot will be protested. The rifle sent to the Kansas shooters was so old and worn that it was practically worthless. For this reason the score made by the local marksmen was much below their usual standard.
Captain Steele of the University Company of National Guard, will go to Topeka today, to attempt to secure a good rifle in place of the one used Saturday, in the shoot against St. Thomas College, which spooled the score of the entire team. The rifle used in the U.S. Magazine was firmly chambered for a twenty-two caliber cartridge. The gun had been fired about ten-thousands and until a short time ago had shot very well.
Kansas Marksmen Made Low Score Because of Worn Out Rifle.
It was decided to stop the shoot and clean the rifle carefully with mercury, to remove any lead. After the gun was cleaned it still failed to shoot straight, fully half of the bullets "keyholed." After three experts had tried it to from the prone position, it was decided to try to get a new rifle, which will place Kansas on a par with the nine other school; in the western Association of Collegiate Rifle clubs.
THE ROUGHEST SPORT
Baseball and Motoring Head the Season's List of Fatalities.
Baseball and motoring are tied for first place as death dealing pastimes.
WILL PROTEST SHOOT
Not only does it appear that for this year but also for the two preceding years football has hardly been entitled to the fame as a killer that some would attach to it.
Poor old football, in spite of the condemnations of conferences, and the denunciation of demagogues, has to drop into second place when the statistics are produced.
It would be well for the University professors to note that golf is a dangerous game.
The annual sport report also shows that for a period of three years at least football fatalities have been on the decrease.
The report shows 109 sporting fatalities last year as against 145 in 1910. Following is the list.

A unique canvass has just been made at Yale, Princeton and Harvard by the Yale News, which has submitted a list of 10 questions to a number of undergraduates in the three universities.
"Do you favor graduate coaching?" was one of the questions.
Two-thirds of the Harvard voters favor graduate coaching, 30 per cent professional and the remainder a mixture of "pro" and graduate coaching. Two-thirds of the Harvard studfists declared football the chief sport, the remainder favoring rowing. All but three of the Yale voters favored football. All three electing roving. All the Princeton students accept one favored football and the single dissenter chose baseball.
WESTERN CO-EDS TO DEBATE
Washington and Oregon Women Will Battle With Wits and Tongues.
The future Anna Shaw's and Ella Flagg Young's of the western universities will have an opportunity to practice the art of argument. A two-year contract for "Co-ed" debating between the women of the University of Washington and the University of Oregon has just been signed.
The competition this year will be held in Seattle in May, the expense contract calling for two women debaters and one chaperone.

The Presidents were Hayes, Grant and Taft—Horace Greely Waded Through Mud in 1859.
Lawrence, "that historic city," as the papers used to put it, has been the stopping place of many world-noted men and women in the early days as well as in later years. Short reminiscences of collections who were here before the series formed a theme of Prof. W. H. Carruth's chapel address this morning.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 23, 1912.
"President and Mrs. R. B. Hayes were here in 1879 and Mr. Hayes attended chapel and addressed the stu-
dium on this plattform.m' said Prof. Carruth.
Other noted guests have been:
Other noted guests have been:
Grand Duke Alexis of Russia, U. S.
Grant, William T. Sherman, See'y
W. H. Seward, Bret Harte, The Rev.
Robert Collyer, Edward Everett Hale,
F. B. Sanborn, Lucy Lee Stone, Elizabeth Bady Stanton, Ralph Waldo Emerson, Horace Greely, Bayard Taylor,
The Rev. John Pierpont and William H. Taft. Prof. Carruth devoted most of his time to a discussion of the last four.
Horace Greely came to Lawrence oveland in May 1859 from Osawatomie. A reception committee which escorted him from the Wakerusa to the Eldridge House, was forced to wade across the river south of town. Mr. Greely, with his trousers tucked in high top boots was equal to the occasion and didn't mind the mud as much as some of the Lawrence men.
Mr. Greely kept an account of his trip to Kansas and the diary well illustrated the disappearance of civilization.
Prof. Carruth read the following entries.
"May 12, Chicago. Chocolate and morning papers last seen on breakfast tea."
*May 23, Leavenworth. Room bells and baths make their last appearance.**
**Topaka, Topaka. Beefsteak and wash bowls other than tin.last visible. Barber ditto.**
"May 26, Manhattan. Potatoes and eggs last recognized among the blessings which brighten as they take their flight.
"May 27, Junction City. Last visit,
I bought a bootblack. Chesidars bid us
good yoy."
"May 28, Pipe Creek. Benches for seats at meals have disappeared.
The address of Ralph Waldo Emerson, which was probably delivered in old Liberty Hall, "shot over the heads" of most of the Lawrence people who attended Emerson's funeral for pie was better recalled by the older residents.
When Rev. John Pierpont, a Uni-
tarian minister and writer of verse, was
in Lawrence in 1857, Gov. Walker with
his entire staff also made the trip to
the city. Rev. Pierpont was probably
the first man to compliment Lawrence
people on the view from "the Hill" in
New York, where he was a epi-
gram, "God might have made more
beautiful scene but I don't believe he
ever did."
Has Article in German Magazine.
Prof. E. F. Engle of the German department has an article on "American Universities" in the Sept, tember, October and November numbers of the "Akademische Rundschan," the national organ of the independent student organizations of German universities which is published at Leipzig, Germany. The article is an elaboration of a lecture which Prof. Engle gave at Marburg, Germany, last year before the members of the student organization of that city.

IT'S RECALL OF JUDGES
Missouri Submits Question for Annual Debate-Kansas Chooses Side Today.
C. M. Harger, who was head of the journalism department last year, was elected president of the Citizens' League of Kansas, an organization affiliated with the National Citizens' League for the Promotion of a Sound Banking system.
The organization will endeavor to interest the Kansas businessmen in monetary reform.
The University of Missouri has proposed the question "The Recall of Judges" for the annual debate with Kansas. The Debating Council of the university accepted this subject and will today choose which side Kansas will defend.
COLD WEATHER TOMORROW
Slight Change in Thermometer Be fore Morning—Not Severe,
The official prognosticator predicts that lightweight suits will be just right tonight but overcoats will be in demand tomorrow. The cold snap will probably not be severe but the wise ones will not let themselves be fooled by the few days of spring weather which is here now.
"Colder weather tomorrow," says the weather man.
Fair tonight and fair and colder tomorrow is the report.
FOUND NEWSPAPERS AND MAGAZINES WERE WRONG
"Kansas Criminal Law Free From Technical Faults" Says Prof. W. E. Higgins.
When the State Bar Association meets in Topeka January 30 and 31, the special committee on criminal law will make its report. Prof. William E. Higgins, of the law school, as chairman, and Judge J. C. Ruppenthal, '95, as member of the committee have spent the last three years in research work upon the criminal work of Kansas.
The committee has announced that they have found the criminal procedure of Kansas free from technical faults and delays, which have been attributed to the criminal procedure of this country by various authorities. They are to the importance of the report of the committee it was made a special order of business for the coming meeting in Topeka.
PHYSIOLOGY CLASS STUDIES
SANITATION AT TOPEKA
A class in physiology will go to Topea next week, accompanied by Dr. Ida H. Hyle, to see the state tuberculosis exhibit and to do some research work in sanitary conditions of public institutions. The class expect its return to render expert opinion upon the sanitation of Lawrence.
MASQUE CLUB WILL
PRESENT PLAY IN APRIL
Dr. Hyde will also visit the state tuberculosis dispensary and fresh air camp at Topeka.
Here's Another New Arrival.
Robert J. D. Waters, a freshman in the College last year, who was married last January, while attending the University, is the proud father of a son, Robert Waters, Jr,
born Thursday morning. Mr.
Waters at present is in the insurance business at Bonner Springs,
Kansas.
At an important meeting held this morning, the Masque club decided to give its annual play in the latter part of April. The club took action to raise the standard of membership, and prevent anyone becoming a member who is not absolutely interested in dramatics as an art.
A committee composed of Harold Wilson, Franz Wilson and Charles Younggreen to choose the play which will be presented in the spring. Younggreen will secure a definite date for the Opera immediately.
WILL STANDDIZE CITY
WEIGHTS AND MEASURES
A model system of weights and measures for Kansas towns is the purpose of a pamphlet prepared by Prof. E. F. Stimpson, state sealer of weights and measures and member of the physics department. The pamphlets include a city ordinance for installing the system.

The pamphlets will be sent to all mayors of Kansas cities.
Pittsburgh has established a system of weights and measures recently, and Parsons is working upon a plan now.
Examination and tests of kindergarten children in Topeka were obtained by Prof. W. Trettie, of the Topeka school, as well as to the Topeka schools last Saturday.
"Practically all the students who are called failures by their associates and the teachers have only to be studied intelligently and a remedy for each particular case can be recommended. It is our aim to find out why a student is backward and suggest corrective measures."
Prof. Trettian has visited several cities in the state and carried on his examinations. Many successful cases have been reported. "Just now we only work through the school but it will not be long before we hope to carry our work to the home. he said. "Making two blades of grass grow where only one grew before is highly important, because of its biggest problems such as, or any other civilization can possibly have, are to train the boys and girls in the best possible way, so that they will make the most efficient men and women."
"Our examination consists of four parts," said Prof. Trettian this morning, "first, we make a physical examination to show any under-developments in the physical nature, next we look for physical and mental atavisms. These atavisms in the physical self show organs which are undeveloped and many of which are absolutely useless, such as the vermiform appendix. Generally speaking, the more atavisms that are present, the less normal is the subject. Lastly we try to find sense defects and abnormal motor reactions."

The Debating Council of the University has called a meeting for 7:30 p. m., Thursday, January 25, in the lecture room of Snow hall of all students who are interested in the formation of new literary and debating societies.
One hundred and twenty-five circular letters were sent out to students whom the Debating Council thought would be interested. Professors Dykstra, Price and Gesell will speak and represent students will give their ideas concerning the formation of new societies. Following is the invitation issued by the Debating Council:
"What's the matter with K. U.? She's all right—but just now she needs a live Literary and Debating Society.
"We believe that there is a good, healthy bunch of young men here who appreciate both the need and value of debating societies as a part of their University work. And aren't you one of them?"
"If so, come up to the meeting at 7:30 p. m., Thursday, January 25th, in the lecture room of Snow hall, to discuss the matter. We'll be looking for you and see that it is worth while.
"Representative students and members of the faculty will give their ideas on the rehabilitation of the old literary societies. A constructive plan will be formulated.
"Now is the time to institute a representative organization with weekly meetings in which each member participates. We receive the benefit of mutual endearment."
"Give us the assistance of your presence and active effort—and bring it to our attention."
Co-eds Will Debate.
A challenge of the co-eds of Ottawa University to the co-eds of Washburn College for a debate has been accepted. The contest probably will be held at Topeka in April, and the question will be submitted by Ottawa.
Mammoths at Museum Pinched and Uncomfortable Because of No Space.
Here is another sad story. The museum specimens are being pinched for room. That building, now since the medics are occupying part of theementment, has proved to be too small and does satisfactorily all parties concerned.
FOSSILS CRY "ROOM" RESUSCITATE DROWNED
Even now some of the finest specimens ever collected are waiting in vain to be unpacked, but alas! that cannot be—there is no room. One of these is a magnificent specimen, the fossil of a mossoar forty feet in length. It is hoped that the large open space beneath the skylights on the third floor will be filled in some day with glass flooring. The other building is capable of room and at the same time allow light to pass to the floor beneath. Of all the buildings on the campus, there is probably none in which the floor space is more completely utilized than in the museum.
Prof. Bruno Keiseweler of the German department lectured before the meeting of the German Verein yesterday afternoon on "The German Novel." Hq sketched the history of the novel down to the present time and showed both the French and the English influence on its development. There will be no meeting of Verein until Monday, Feb. 12 at which time an election of officers will be held.

A Motor Driven Bellows. Designed by Prof. Hood Restores Life.
THO' HEART AND LUNGS CEASE
Dr. Hyde Finds Apparatus Successful in Work With Animals in Physiology Department.
Prof. G. J. Hood, of the School of Engineering, has prepared a machine which will resuscitate drowning persons and will maintain a current of air through the lungs even though the breathing muscles have been paralyzed. The apparatus was designed for Dr. Ida Hdye for research work in the department of physiology. The work which has been carried on with animals has been very successful and the motor driven bellows should be equally efficient in saving the lives of drowning persons.
The new machine forces the fresh air it regular intervals into the lungs and removes the vitated air. This is accomplished by means of a bellows peared to an electric motor. The natural breathing rate of a person or animal is approximated and the machine can be used to keep fit. For abbitts the artificial respirator receives its greatest speed. These animals breathe sixty times per minute.
"The electric machine has a great advantage over the old, hand-operated bellows", explained Dr. Hyde this afternoon. " Its speed can be regulated scientifically so that the greatest amount of efficiency is obtained."
An arrangement of incandescent electric lights is appended to the machine by which the bodily warmth of the person may be restored or preserved.
"By means of this machine," she said. "Life may be restored after the person or animal has ceased respiration, and you will live longer if after the heart has ceased to beat."
GEPHART RESIGNS FROM MENS' COUNCIL

IT'S UGLY BUT USEFUL
J. P. Trickey Invents Machine to Test Strength of Materials
A machine for teaching the tensile strength of all materials used in the department of industrial chemistry, has just been finished by the junior engineers in Fowler Shops. The machine was designed by Prof. J. P. Trickey, Elston fellow in Industrial Chemistry.
The machine is a large skeleton-like device, which is puzzling to the unscientific spectator, because of its apparent lack of symmetry. It is useful though ungainly, and can test the strength of any material, up to 1,000 pounds pressure.
Prof. F. H. Hodder is in Washington, D. C., working on a historical atlas in connection with the Carnegie Institute for research. He will return at the end of the present semester. Prof. C. A. Dykstra is taking charge of most of his classes.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
It is hard for an empty bag to stand upright.
FOUR DAYS MORE—!! **!** *---!*
IT WAS A DISGRACE.
It seems that there are a few people who seem to be unable to discern the difference between loyalty to the home team and ungentlemanly conduct toward the opposing team. The jeering and hissing at the referee, the opposing coach, and the Nebraska team at the basket-ball games last week, were wholly unnecessary and added no credit to the previous reputation that this school has of fairness toward opponents.
In every athletic contest two elements are present. One is the actual struggle between the two teams and the other is the rooting of the supporters. This rooting may be either a spontaneous and whole-supported support of the home team or it may be a discourteous yelling at those who are the opponents.
Only a limited number are allowed actually to participate in the games, but the whole school is enlisted in the support of the team. When a small portion of the student body acts in a disgraceful manner toward the visitors, it is time that some action should be taken to curb this rudeness.
These words may sound like words of advice to high school students but they are applicable here. The sentiment of the student body ought to be such that actions of disrespect to our visitors would not be tolerated. To say the least, a majority of those present at the game last week were humiliated.
The correspondent who calls the attention of this paper to the grammatical error in a feature head in Monday's issue, "Went home fussed when janitor done his duty," has the Daily Kansan's hearty thanks. In pointing out this error our correspondent has proved himself one who done his duty when he seen it.
A DEBATING "K?"
At the Agricultural College they are having all kinds of trouble over the granting of "K's" to their college debaters and orators. It seems that their debating council decided that a "K" similar to the athletic "K" was a suitable reward for their "forensic artists."
A few days previous to the granting of the letters, the college athletes met in indignant session and declared that the council action was an enchromachment on their inattainable rights, or words to that effect. A petition was circulated protesting against the alleged outrage. The student body and the faculty are divided on the question and a lively time is expected before it is settled.
It was not so many years ago that this same question was discussed at the University. A num
ber of the men who represented their Alma Mater in debate, thought that a sweater with an emblem "K" was quite the thing as a reward for their services. After consulting the wishes of the student body they decided that they didn't want them at all, at all.
Why a debater should want a sweater to remind him of victory on the platform or why an orator should demand a block "K" as a memento of his previous declamations, is hard to understand; his claims are hard to justify.
Debating and oratory can hardly be said to be branches of athletics. True, in some instances they may verge on it. Forensics should be represented by something more refined and more dignified than a big sweater with a letter on the front of it. A debater should by no means go unrewarded. There are many ways in which to honor those who represent the school in forensics.
Let us hope that the controversy at Manhattan will be stopped without a show of violence,— in which possibly, the debaters might qualify as athletes.
HELP WANTED!
The Daily Kansan needs a good photographer and a clever cartoonist. It believes that good pictures and cartoons add much to the effectiveness of a paper and for this reason it is willing to go to a considerable expense to provide them for its readers.
If you own a camera and have some good pictures that depict any phase of University life, you will confer a great favor on the Kansas by bringing them to the office in order that "cuts" may be made of them for the paper.
If you have any ability as a cartoonist, will you please bring your drawings to the office?
The Daily Kansan wishes to secure an official photographer and cartoonist. If you care to add to the appearance of your paper you will help by doing your part.
EDUCATIONAL CRITICS
The Eastern Kansan, the carefully edited weekly paper published at Valley Falls, has the following pointed remarks on some unjustified critics of the modern college:
Recently we were interested in a discussion by some parties as to the significance of a college education.
These men, as most other persons who have never been directly or indirectly connected with any of our modern institutions of learning, contended that higher education was a failure because of the failure of a few persons who they knew that had made a waste of their time and energy by getting too theoretical.
Did you ever notice, that, let a person attend college and come out and be all the theory and not practical and every old wag in Chrisendom will give his head a knowing wag and say, "oh well that's another educated fool." But he never sees a dozen who come away from college and put the common sense and practical training with their trained mind and move mountains, as it were.
This always reminded us very much of the way people generally judge a preacher and his family. As a matter of fact, preachers children have generally "made good" in life's battles to a much greater percent than any other class, except farmers, but let a preacher or a member of his family "side step" in the least and the same old wags will sniff the air and give a knowing wink at one another just as much as to say: I told you we were just as good as any body the last time we sneaked around the corner and tipped up the bottle together.

A FISHER once took his baggies to the bank of a river, and played upon them with the hope of making the fish rise; but never a one put his nose out of the water. So he cast his net into the water, and he filled it with fish. Then he took his baggies again, and as he played, the fish leap up in the net. "Ah, you dance now when I play," said he.

table and followed the last of the departing students from the room. When he had locked the door behind him, he heaved an almost imperceptible sigh, whether of relief or regret the professor himself might have found that he was walking stiffly across the oiled floor in the direction of his office.
THE PROFESSOR gathered up a pile of papers from his lecture
In the halls the trump of students' feet sounded heavy, coarse, but withal not unpleasantly to the instructors with class rooms in the building. The long succession of recitations was at an end; close vigilance had its opportunity to relax. Many of the teachers prepared to depart immediately, giving over their rooms to the janitor. To virtually all of them, the coming of three o'clock meant at least a recess until after supper time, when lessons for the next day were to be reviewed and papers corrected.
When you are in a man's power you
must do as he bids you.
But to the English professor the dismissal of the class which listened to his discourses from two to three 'o clock every afternoon did not mean rest. It meant a break in the day's work, to be sure; it even meant that he might occupy himself otherwise until evening; but the professor was not sure that he relished the return to his own struggle; that he should not have preferred more classes to the intermimable sparing with his ambition.
He scarcely lifted his Congress gatters from the worm boards as he made his way through the halls. Relieved of the necessity of appearing in passable humor before his class, the tired pucker about his mouth became more noticeable. So uninspiring was the gray afternoon that filled the rambling building with shadows, no outer force tended to relieve the depression which seemed upon him. The floor, oiled and re-olled until it was crumply and uneven, invited little brown rolls of dirt upon which the professor's shoes occasionally crunched.
When he reached his office, a small, box-like affair, he seated himself in a corner removed from the desk, where he could stare outside through the sole window of the apartment. He also glanced from time to time at some of the furniture on the desk, as if there were something to be done for which he felt little inclination.
The pale light that crept through the pane silhouetted the professor's form, dim and filmy, on the walls. It touched his back and brought into relief the waxy seaw hair on his wide-skuled hair. The warm curly warp of his loosely-fitting black suit.
One or two early successes before the grind of a teacher's life descended upon him only accented the disappointments that followed. He reflected upon the time when he had taken firmer stands in similar discouragements, renewing the fight. On the day, he found his senses more dull and unresponsive than ever before.
Without any great feeling as to the tragedy in it all, the history of his years of struggle for literary recognition passed over him; he thought of it as the panorama of a failure yet hews not vivally affected by it.
He struggled with the depression that threatened to overcome him, sitting stiffly in his chair, his eyes wide open, his thoughts nearly stagnant; occasionally, he remembered the family at home that would welcome the increased income from his success, and then he would reflect for a brief space on a theme which had been in his mind for many weeks—a theme for a short story. But time and again, he returned to blank staring until he finally spurred himself to another effort. He rose to his feet another time, and he reminded a rebuke a pupil; shut his teeth tight as he walked across the room while his eyes became set as if he were angry. Relaxing a little as he took up a lean pile of papers from a corner of his desk, he found it easy to chide himself for his 'ormer melancholy.
"What was I thinking about?" he asked himself as he drew up his swivel chair. "The theme was what I needed; what I wanted all my life. Now that I have it, there should be no more trouble. Come, come—at it. We're not playing yesterday now."
His manner was eager—and alert. The characters that were to form the central figures in his story rose and walked down a staircase to perform their separate parts.
The forces he planned to bring to bear seemed to have the professor himself in their grip. The whole man is him as something very real and tangible.
LIGHT
His theme was that of retribution, working through years and exciting circumstances, to punish a man for an injury in his early life. A slight fit of vanity had brought suffering upon him that had changed his whole career, the great growing out of the little. He had also woven other forces and incidents into his story, so that it seemed to him a most compelling arrangement. The professor read over what he had com-
The night has a thousand eyes,
And the day but one;
Yet the light of a whole world dies
With the dying sun.
The mind has a thousand eyes,
And the heart but one;
Yet the light of a whole life dies.
When love is done.
BOURDILLON
detailed of his manuscript and took up
he story where he had left off.
In the fullness of his idea, a few days before he had related the theme to one of his classes. It stirred him now to remember how eager they had been with suggestions, what enthusiasm it had aroused.
Thrilled with his reborn determination, the professor began his work. But the eagerness wore itself out. His pen, before many minutes, moved mechanically. Dumbly, he realized his story lacked something, what, he did not know—but he doubted. It was a tired face, unwilling and haggard, that he turned to the door as it opened behind him to admit one of his students.
"Oh, hello, Osborne," greeted the professor, striving to conceal his impatience. "Come in."
"What is it you want?" he added, rather petulantly, and then hoped the student had not heeded.
"I thought I'd see you about my theme, professor," explained the young man, half apologetically. "I've given up." The speaker was stepped as if for the other to speak.
"All right, Osborne. Draw up a work out you have a theme worked out,—very good."
"I am expecting a great deal from your class this semester. Osborne. The work is decidedly gratifying. It does me good, you know, to see them take the job."
"What is this? What is your theme?" he added, audently interrupting him.
"Why you talked about it in class the other day, you remember. And I worked it out. It struck me as about the best of them all."
"Ah, yes," agreed the professor with a nod.
"It is the idea of retribution," explained the student. "It's about a man wonderfully gifted in many respects, who is pursued through life by the remembrance of an act of vanity that had once cost him clearly. His wisdom has been passed with years. The idea is that the punishment is out of proportion to the folly."
Again the professor nodded his head. "Yes, yes, it has possibilities," he said excitedly.
The professor read on, deeply engrossed in the story. His first emotion was one of curiosity, and he read with interest to see how the student had treated the theme, for it was the same upon which he himself had spent so many hours. In the first few paragraphs there were few jarring notes; the introduction past, the professor was swept through the rest of the manuscript with something more than a consciousness of being simply curious.
But it was not until he had finished that the full force of the student's narrative struck him. Then, as he unconsciously placed the customary mark at the foot of the last sheet, he realized the masterly touches which imbued the story. It was so strong, so dominant, it had carried him on in forgetfulness of all else. One overpowering effect appealed to him before all, and so vitally did it strike him he put it in words spoken to himself.
"Here, this boy has placed the world-old query of fate before his readers squarely, almost brutally," he thought. "He has shouted it out so no one
can miss it. With what insistence he has shown it—why the eternal lack of proportion in the affairs of destiny?—Does this man suffer for the sins of his grandfather or great grand father, or is just man a plaything of fate after all? Why? Where? The unanswerable query.
"A strong work. A strong work," he repeated to himself insufficiently. It seemed as if he were unwilling to get down to the realization of what the few pages he held in his hand meant to his own life.
But even while he reflected and the student peered anxiously over his shoulder to see what he might be about, a spirit of resentment rose within him and grew strong. It may have been directed at dote [a man] but his manu- mandation of manifestion of fear Revolt? Of course, he would revolt. He would see about this—he—
"This theme is my theme," the dominating voice within him cried out. "The plot, the idea, the thought, are all mine, my own. Why should I till my own hopes to give this boy the reward that belongs to me? Nobody would believe in it. I thought him all he knows; he could have done nothing without my help."
There came to him then what had been the trouble with his own work—the fault that he knew was present, yet could not exactly place.
It was brought home to him by the youthful, hopeful, lambent touches in the student's story. He knew, now, that his works were clogged with his own stored-up thoughts; they were marked with the mark of the worn-out hand that he could not give the world any hope. His own was too nearly exhausted.
But then the thought came to him that he could revise. He would make his work breathe these things—the hopes of youth. He would do it with this story first; it would be a supreme effort, but he would be the final effort, too, should he fail.
But the student's story was in his hands, a reality. He considered how

And o'er and o'er the sand.
And round and round the sand.
The creeping tide came up along the sand.
When he turned to the student, the professor's face was calm. Here he advised a change in a word; a better sentence there; showed at another point where a whole paragraph could be dropped and the movement quickened. All were calculated to strengthen the narrative; and it pleased him when he saw how quickly the young man caught his suggestions. The professor praised the student, told him he had a great story, approved his style and earnestness. Then the lad bowed himself up, crying his thanks.
When Osborne had been gone some little time, the professor realized that it was almost dusk. He shoved a lean pile of papers into a far corner of his desk, arose, walked to the row of nails in the wall and took down his hat and coat.
Yet the instinct of the teacher, imbued in him through years of toil, was also strong. How often had he rejoiced in a student's success? He had aided them all with heartedness. He recalled the routine schedule of each day in his life: the breakfast in the tender dawn; his long, silent tramps to the college; the round of classes; the quiet afternoons that had brought his day in the big college building to a close; his evenings spent in class; the three hours that had come from all this a strange instinct for doing the mechanical over and over again; for giving the best that was in him,—his thought, his strength, his helping hand,—to the students who came under his instruction.
And he had longed for success ever once he could remember.
He blinding must come down and bid

And never home came she.

best he might keep back the work while his own went to the publisher. He might discourage the student—it would be an easy matter—with a pretence of helping him. Though no one realized more than he the effect of a disappointment coming at a critical time, to a young man, was he not justified? His hope for fame, sought for nearly forty years, die now that another, young and untrust, sight see, this reward?
The cruel, crawling foam,
The cruel, hungry foam.

Make Way For Education.
The Universities of Nebraska and Michigan have found it necessary to condemn certain private property adjoining their campuses, in order to provide room for more buildings.
Realizing the fact that in as much as this is one of the most notable love attractions heard in this city, and that the demand for seats will be unusual, the management has arranged to allow partners the opportunity of procuring desirable seats at adjoining theaters. It is easy to assume that many requests from theatregoers who do not wish to stand in line yet desire to be assured of good seats in advance.
Kindly hill out below how many saats are required, and the date. Send remittance by money order, express order or check between us and your BOWERSOCK THEATER, LAWRENCE, KANSAS, saats will be promptly sent you.

City Improvements
In the year just ended there Tell the story of a city's growth, were erected in Lawrence buildings costing $709,675, and municipal improvements amounting to $148,090, and improvements and rebuilding of private property amounting to $300,000. So the total paid out by the town for new and more substantial things was more than a million dollars in the year 1911,---and that wasn't an exceptional year.

FACTS ON TEACHING ENGLISH COMPOSITION
Prof. E. M. Hopkins Will Explain Results of Committee's Investigation.
Prof. E. M. Hopkins, chairman of a committee on English composition teaching appointed by a division of the Modern Language Association, is receiving numerous requests to speak on the subject under investigation by the committee. The National Council of Teachers of English, the Schoolmasters' club of the state of Michigan, and the English Section of the National Educational Association have asked for addresses on the general subject of the committee's report, the physical and material factors in English composition teaching in comparison with other subjects, and the comparative cost of English and other subjects.
The report of the committee which appeared some months ago in preliminary form, has been distributed in Kansas, Iowa, Illinois, Missouri, Mississippi, Michigan and Wisconsin, by state officers or state institutions. The committee's final report will appear probably at the end of the present academic year.
Professor Hopkins appeared before the National Council on December 1; and at that time the Council voted the completion and final publication of the report the most important for teachers that could be undertaken at present, and extended to the committee direct practical aid by giving space in the Council's official publication, the English Journal, for a special article on the subject in addition to a general account of action taken, and by sending out material for the committee as an insert in the Journal. The Council at this meeting made Professor Hopkins one of the five members of its executive board.
At the meeting of the Modern Language Association in Chicago, December 29, the committee through its chairman made a formal report of progress; and the Association followed the example of the Council by giving the committee unqualified endorsement, by recommending its work to the attention of all teachers and school officers, of the press generally, and of the Carnegie Foundation and the United States Department of Education, and by assuming all the expenses incurred by the committee to that date.
As soon as the final report of the committee is ready, further effort will be directed toward obtaining the widest publicity for the substance of that report. In this effort the committee has already secured the co-operation of two national organizations, and hopes for that of the National Education Association also. The National Council is especially active in its support of the committee, and in proceeding to organize the English teachers of every state, or to affiliate existing organizations, in order to bring about permanent improvement in English teaching with regard to many matters of importance besides that aided by the English Journal, a new monthly magazine which is its official organ, the first number of which is issued from the press of the University of Chicago, January 15.
At the High School Conference to be held at the University of Kansas in March, a special meeting of English teachers will be arranged to consider the relation of the state organization to the national body, and to discuss plans for increasing the strength and usefulness of both through united action toward common interests; among these the bringing about of general recognition and acceptance of the facts of the committee's report, and the instituting of similar practical and vital inquiry in other directions as a permanent policy. The general end in view is to establish the principles of English teaching upon a basis of fact scientifically ascertained, so far as this is practicable, and to that extent to remove the necessity of depending upon guess-work or tradition.

WOMEN STUDENTS TO GOVERN THEMSELVES
In Mass Meeting Girls Vote to Do as the Men Do.
WEEK NIGHT DATES DEFINED.
Library and University Affairs Only Excuses That May be Offered For Breaking Rule.
At the meeting of the women of the University in chapel this morning the question as to the amount of power which the W. S. G. A. may be allowed to exercise was raised. The women believed that they should have as much to say in regard to the governing of their sex as the men and therefore they voted that the Council should hold a trial for any breach of student discipline among the co-eds and that their course of action should be recommended to the Board of Regents. Heretofe if a student violated the University rules the council was forced to take the case before the Faculty Advisory Committee which passed final judgment on it.
A definition for a week night date was also sought. It was decided that all dates to and from the library, committee meetings and University entertainments would not fall under this rule. No "stopovers" however will be allowed. Any deviation from the straight and narrow path from the top of the hill to home will be considered a violation of the rules. This means that no stops will be allowed for refreshments or to see a "nickle" and all other dates other than those mentioned above will under no conditions be countenanced.
The meeting was attended by most of the women in the University and standing votes were taken in regard to the motions. Beulah Murphy, president of the Women's Student Government Association conducted the meeting.
Ray G. Allison, of the College, has been appointed to the chairmanship of the decorating committee for the Junior Prom to succeed Charles Shlier, of the engineering school who resigned the position when he withdrew from the University a short while ago.

IT'S THE OLDEST TOME
at Library.
Pliny's Worm-eaten "Historiarum" Holds Age Record
In the stacks of the library, with pages and backs age-yellowed and worm eaten, is a huge tome which bears the distinction of being the oldest book in the possession of the University. The title, in alba indistinguishable from the item on the delayed leather back, is "G. Pliny, Sequiendi Naturae Historiarum, Libri XXVIII" which being translated for the benefit of students whose Latin educations have been neglected, reads, "Pliny's Natural History", in 37 volumes.
This "oldest Inhabitant" of the library shelves was turned out by some Austrian press in Vienna, in 1518, during the reign of the great Maximilian. Luca Alanta was the ancient publisher of the book.
Just within the brass-reinforced front cover, is an elaborate index, giving both the native and foreign bibliographies for all the material used by Pliny; in the history of all the life he knew in that early age. Each page looks very much like it had been written by hand, in very fine script. At the beginning of each chapter, is an elaborate illuminated initial letter.
The book was presented to the University by William A. Phillips in 1885 through Gen. George Deitzler, a general in the Civil War, and one of Lawrence's oldest citizens.
KILLED THREE COYOTES.
Students Chase Mark Twain's "Ailegory of Want" to His Death
A gang of about two hundred men and boys, composed mostly of Haskell students, University men and others, chased the sly coyote from his native lair Saturday morning in the district east of Lawrence.
The hunt was not without a degree of success either, for when all assembled at the "grand finale," three coyotes were exhibited as evidence that there were sportsmen yet, who could at least hit a coyote when it stopped and turned to see if it were being pursued. Three other coyotes got away.

BASE BALL SCHEDULE HAS BEEN ARRANGED
Kansas Will Play Eighteen Games.Eight With Conference Team.
MISSOURI WILL OPEN SEASON
In the Other Contests St. Mary, Baker, and K. S. A. C. Will be Varsity Opponents.
Kansas baseball representatives will take part in eighteen contests this season.
The completed schedule shows the University team will open the season April 1, against Missouri on McCook field. Four games with Missouri and four with Nebraska will be the total of conference games played by the red and blue this year. The reasons for this are several. Prominent among them is the trouble that has been caused by the summer baseball. In some schools in the Conference baseball, never a money maker, has been abandoned because it is felt that the finances of the athletic department will not permit its retention.
The men who will try for the Kansas team will not be set to work till late in February. At that time the candidates for battery positions will begin indoor work-outs in the gym. As soon as the weather permits aspirants for other positions will begin their labors on McCook field.
Aside from the Conference games the other dates on the varsity schedule are taken by Kansas colleges St. Marys and K. S. A. C. have always had star teams, and, for the past three years have had the best of the University ball tossers by a rather wide margin. The most enjoyable game of the schedule will no doubt be, as it has been in the past, the K. U.-Baker contest May 1, at Baldwin.
The schedule is as follows:
April 1 and 2—Missouri at Law rence.
April 10- Emporia at Lawrence.
 April 12, 13- Nebraska at Linfoe Co.
April 10, 20—K. S. A. C. at Man hattan.
May 11—St. Marys at Lawrence.
April 26, 27—K. S. A. C. at Law rence.
April 23—St. Mary's at St Mary's.
May 1—Baker at Baldwin.
May 17, 18—Missouri at Colum bia.
May 20.—Baker at Lawrence.
May 24, 25—Nebraska at Law rence.
A SHOT FOR WALTER CAMP
Dartmouth Coach Says Football Au- thority 20 Years Behind Times.
"In my opinion, Walter Camp, of Yale, is twenty years behind the times," said Frank Cavanaugh, the Dartmouth football coach, speaking to the Dartmouth alumni in Chicago. "The day is coming when he will no longer be the dominating factor just because he is Walter Camp. Now he suggests the rules, goes into the committee room with a couple of members and the rules are changed as he suggests. But the spirit of the game has gone beyond him. His All-American fiction and that of Casper Whitney will not be considered so all important when the college world wakes up.
"If I were asked wherein the game could be improved I would say increase the number of downs to four and the distance to be gained from ten to twelve or fifteen yards. That would still give the offence three chances to break away on a long run, and the distance would be enough to eliminate the plugging game. Or I would suggest that the backs be allowed to run before the ball is passed, allowing a forward pass behind the line. Either of these changes would give the better team the chance to win, as it should do."
For a Yale-Cornell Indoor Meet.
Yale and Cornell will clash on the indoor track soon if the plans that are now being considered develop favorably. There has been a growing sentiment in the two schools that athletic relations should be resumed. The success of the recently commenced annual baseball series have had much to with the furthering of the movement.
Walter Camp Selects Men Who Have Done Most For Football.
THETWENTYGREATEST HAMILTON ISSUES Wp ts Men Who CALL TO TRACK MEN
After the notables have all had the opportunity of picking the twenty greatest men, and the suffragettes have all had their guess as to the twenty greatest women, the authorities in the world of sport took the fever.
Walter Camp, the greatest football critic has chosen the men who in his estimation are the greatest of the gridiron game. He has not confided his selection to players alone but has named men who have been prominent in all departments of the college game.
The most notable feature of Mr. Camp's selection is the fact that the majority of the men he has named as the greatest players as well as the larger number of the most famous coaches are western men.
Other football authorities have differed from Camp's choice in some instances, but the greater number of the men named by him have received unanimous approval. Mr. Camp's last follow-up:
Mr. Camp's list follows:
Eckersall of Chicago, O'Dea of Wisconsin, Daly* of Harvard West Point, developers of individual departments.
Whiting of Harvard, Baker Yale, pioneers of game.
Cuyler of Princeton, Pierce West Point, legislators.
Dennis of Cornell, Hall of Dartmouth, Dashiel of Annapolis, Bell of Pennsylvania, officers and rule makers.
Babbitt of Haverford, originator of board of officials.
Woodruff of Pennsylvania, Yost of Michigan, Williams of Minnesota,
Stargt of Chicago, Shevlin of Yale, coaches.
Dudley of Vanderbilt, developer in south.
Cumnock of Harvard, Hare of Pennsylvania, captains.
RIFLEMEN SHOOT IN GYM.
Scores Made Will be Sent to The War Department.
The Rifle club of the University of Kansas is holding a series of matches with some of the western universities, members of the National Rifle Association of America, and volunteers to the local club are solicited. The qualifications are a clear eye, a steady hand and fifty cents to cover the cost of the ammunition.
Unlike events athletic and contests oratorical the teams in the shooting matches may compete although separated a thousand miles. The scores are sent in to the war department at Washington, compared and the results announced later.
When the teams of the Western Division of the National Rifle Association, under whose auspices the matches are held, have all met, the leading team shoots with the team in the Eastern League that has the highest score. The winning team in this event is awarded a silver trophy, which is now held by the Massachusetts Aggies.
The following is the schedule for the University of Kansas team:
Michigan Aggies, Lansing, January 27.
University of Arizona, Tucson, February 10.
University of Iowa, Iowa City,
February 3.
University of Minnesota, Minneapolis. March 2.
University of California, Berkeley. February 17.
University of Michigan, Ann Arbor, February 24.
Magill University Swimmers on Tour The swimming team of Magill University of Toronto, Canada will invade the east the latter part of the month.

Old Football Star to the Island "Big Art" Brownlee, star full back on the Princeton team twenty years ago, has been sent to Blackwell's Island for a term of four months as an habitual drunkard. As well as being a great athlete he stood near the head of his class in mining engineering.
The students at the University of Wisconsin have voted that the honor system is impracticable.
Kansas Needs Sprinters and Men for the Long Distance Events.
All men in the University who wish to try for places on the track team are urged to report at once. Men are especially wanted to compete in the dashes and in the distance events.
W. O. Hamilton,
Coach
Coach Hamilton issued the above call for track men from his office this morning. "We want every man who is ambitious," said the coach. "There are a number of vacancies in the squad this season, and there is ample opportunity for men who have hesitated to report in previous years to make the team by doing a little hard work."
The track team this year is almost an unknown quantity. This much appears certain, however; there will be a crying need for men to go the long distances. Last year the team carried five men who took care of the events from the half mile up the scale. This year but two of these men have returned.
There will be room also for new representatives in the short distance events, as both the men who ran the dashes last year are out of school. In the weights, Ammons can be depended upon for his usual five or more points a meet. French will lead in the jumps and the Wood-burys will care for the hurdles. Tod Woodbury will also be counted on as first man in the pole vault.
While it is far too early to predict whether Kansas will, or will not have a track team this year it is safe to say that the nucleus around which the team will be constructed is as strong as any foundation material in the valley.
FENCERS TO SWEDEN.
Team From United States to Compete in Olympic Games.
America will be represented at the Olympic games in Sweden next year by a fencing team. This will be the first time in the history of the foilmen that the United States has sent a team to compete against fencers from other countries in a meet of this character.
Before the team is selected a series of bouts will be held at the New York A. C. These series of bouts will determine the makeup of the team.
Minnesota Looking Eastward The chairman of the board of control of the University of Minnesota has been instructed to enter into a two year football contract with some eastern college. Dartmouth is the likely candidate.
The longest drop kick for a goat in a football game on record was made by Pat O'Dea from the sixty yard line in the game between Wissonsin and Northwestern, at Evanston, Ill., on Thanksgiving day, 1898.
The Longest Drop Kick.
Baseball on the ice was introduced at Kelly's Island on Lake Erie last winter. A diamond was staked off and several games played. The fans of that region were so pleased with the experiment that a four club league has been organized.

Baseball to be Played on Ice.
Stanford is considering an amendment to the constitution of the Associated Students, which puts limitations on students who are not members. Only those having membership cards will be allowed to hold office, either in classes or in the Association, or will be allowed to represent Stanford, or to receive any benefits, and emblems granted.
Earl Sprakling, of Brown University, has scored more points than any eastern college player. He has scored forty-four points, seven touchdowns and three goal goals. Baker, of Princeton is second, with forty-three, Wendell, of Harvard, is third with forty, all made on touchdowns.
At Northwestern University, each fraternity and sorority is allowed one formal party a year.
Sprackling Has Highest Score.

NOT TRYING TO STEAL AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, WEDNESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 24, 1912.
Dean Marvin Assures Manhattan of Good Motives of University
AT MEETING OF ENGINEERS
Program.
Eleven Graduates of University of Kansas Take Part on
Kansas Agricultural College, Jan. 23,
"We have no desire to run away with
the agricultural college, or with any
part of it," said Frank Dean O. Marvin
of the engineering department at the
University of Kansas, in responding to
the address of welcome of President
Henry J. Waters, in the opening session
this afternoon of The Kansas Engineering
Association. "It has its work to do
here." Dean Marvin said.
The third annual meeting was called to order at 2:30 o'clock by Professor William C. Head, engineer for the State Board of Health and professor of civil engineering in the University of Kansas. President Waters then formally welcomes the students to the agriculture college. Thirty had arrived when the meeting began.
"The society represents a new spirit in Kansas," Dean Marvin said, "The determination of scientific men, notably engineers, to give better public service and to realize better ideals. Kansas people have shown in recent years the best possible feeling toward technical education, and particularly in evincing a desire to have their public work done in the scientific manner by men who thoroughly understand that work."
"The engineer's duty to the public"
Professor Hoad said, "is an extremely large one, and engineers are determined to live up to every possible opportunity."
At 3:30 o'clock the association began its annual business meeting to consider matters affecting the by laws. Probably 100 members of the association, judging by letters, will be here by tomorrow noon. The meeting will close tomorrow night. The visitors will be the guests of the college athletic association at eight o'clock tomorrow night at a basket-ball game.
Fred R. Hesser, '10, now city engineer of Beloit. Subject, "How Country Roads Should be Classified and How the Different Classes Should be Constructed and Maintained."

TROUBLE BREWING FOR THE CHEATERS
THREE CHANCELLORS.
MISS CASEY AT THE BAT
Men's Council Punishes On and Hands Warning to Any Others
At a meeting of the Men's Student Council held before the Christmas vacation, a sophomore in the College was found guilty of cheating in examination. He was suspended from the University for the three weeks immediately following the Christmas vacation. The following communication was given to the Kansan for publication by the Councl:
"The sophomore in the College who was found guilty of cheating in examinations was suspended from the University for three weeks. This is the first case of cheating the council has ever handled and for that reason the offender was not punished as severely as his offense would demand in other schools. The Men's Student Council wants it understood that in the future all such cases will be severely dealt with."
The Debating Council of the University of Kansas wired its acceptance of the second question proposed by Missouri for the annual debate. The question reads: "Resolved that the recall should be applied to the state judiciaries." The Kansas debaters will support the affirmative. The debate will be staged along about the first of April.
Men's Student Council.

KANSAS WILL TRY TO HAVE JUDGES RECALLED
"Is it sore? Why I haven't been able to write a letter home for two days, and I rub it with cold ersam every night."
"Is your arm sore, Mabel?"
Such bits of feminine conversation may be expected on the campus after Friday afternoon. At that time the Freshman bloomer girl's indoor baseball teams will engage in their first game of the national sport in the gym.
The freshman girl's baseball league
SWAT! VILE WEED GETS ANOTHER JOLT
is being organized and each of the classes will be represented by a "nine." Games will be scheduled and the contexts staged on the gym floor different afternoons during the week in the next month.
Some of the girls have added a Spaulding's guide on indoor baseball to their library of text books. The science of the game will not be neglected by the University Women.
It is probable that Coach Hamilton will have a large re-inforcement to his track squad as the University runners are the only men students who will be allowed in the gym during the games. The track artists of course, will attain such speed around the indoor track as to be unable to witness the bloomer girls below.
Dr.Eugene Smith Shows Bad Effects of Tobacco upon Users
Dr. Eugene Smith, demonstrator in anatomy in the Medical School has a very interesting and instructive article on tobacco in this month's issue of the American Journal of Clinical Medicine, a magazine devoted almost entirely to the interests of Therapeutics.
In the article Dr. Smith gives numerous statistics on the amount of tobacco raised and consumed in the United States. He also shows its demoralizing effect upon the health of our nervous system of the habitual user.
"That the use of tobacco is coming to be recognized as an unmistakable evil is shown by the fact that legislatures are passing laws to restrict its use. Corporations have decided that they cannot trust cigarette smokers with responsible positions. Religious organizations are inquiring into the tobacco habits of those who would enter into the ministry. At the University of Nebraska and the University of Illinois, the use of tobacco on the University grounds is prohibited. And now I wish to ask whether the medical profession, the medical schools, and the licensing boards are measuring up to what the public has a right to expect of them?"
In conclusion the doctor says:
The semi-annual election of the Quill club was held yesterday afternoon. The following officers were elected: Robert R. Fisher, president; Eleanor Draper, vice-president; Margaret Darrah, secretary and treasurer; Ottie McNeal, critic

A FEW BIG "IFS"
FROM THE CAMPUS
A Steam Pipe Laid End to End Would Reach to Hutchinson
If all the buildings on Mount Oread were one big building, that building would cover approximately ten acres.
If all the rooms in all the buildings on Mount Oread were one big room, that room would contain 6,252,596 cubic feet of space. One man could breathe in nine years.
If all the windows in all the rooms in all buildings on Mount Oread were one big window, that window would require a pane of glass more than an acre in extent.
There are enough steam pipes laid in the buildings and on the campus to reach if they were reduced to one inch pipe, on a basis of relative degree of radiation a distance of 176 miles, about as far as it is—in a straight line from the bottom of the building. Hutchinson, Wichita, Winfield, Independence, or Columbus.
According to other statistics furnished by J. 1. Brown, assistant superintendent of buildings and grounds, the floor acreage of the various buildings on the campus is as follows: Furner, 1.36 acres, library, 47; Museum, 97; Law, 58; Blake, 36; Journalism, 97; Fowler Shops, 14; Fowler Shops, 14; Gymnasium, 1.32; Administration, 75; Haworth, 51; Marvin, 1.05; Power Plant, 22.
The electric power that may be generated by the power plant is sufficient to light 5083 ordinary 16 candle power incandescent lamps. There are 224 electric lamps in the new administration building.
BROWN TELLS FACULTY
"HOW TO GET THE MONEY."
On account of delays to pay-rolls and monthly vouchers Secretary Brown has arranged to send in the monthly budget to the State Auditor on the evening of the 27th.
Mr. Brown expects all claims against the University, whether for services or material furnished, to be presented on the dates named if prompt payment is expected.
Members of the faculty and employees will find the payroll open for signatures on the 25th, 26th and up to noon on the 27th of each month. Should the 27th come on a Sunday or legal holiday—one day advance in date will be made.
COUNCIL POLITICAL POT
IS BEGINNING TO BOIL
Much interest is evinced in the selection of men to fill the places in the Men's Student Council which will be made vacant at the close of this semester by the resignation of Jesse Gephart from the College and W. Red Schreinder from the Engineering school.
The only candidate from the College at present in the field is Harry Weaver, a senior. Petitions for Volney Hilford and Phil Halleble are being circulated among the engineers. The council decided at its meeting last night that the men who ran for the council last year will not be required to have new petitions, the ones they had last year being sufficient to bring their names up for consideration.
The council will vote on the candidates at their first meeting of the next semester and all petitions must be in by the close of this semester
DR, BILLINGS GOES EAST
Professor of Botany to Study Foods in Massachusetts Institution
Dr. F. H. Billing, professor of botany and bacteriology, leaves for Boston today to attend the Massachusetts Institute of Technology the coming term. He will continue his work in bacteriology, making a speciality of sanitation and, the bacteriology of foods. He intends to be gone until school opens here next fall and it is possible that he may attend the Harvard Medical School next Summer.
KAPPA BETA PHI HELD A
LINE PARTY LAST NIGHT
Celebrating the inauguration of a new society, ten men held a line party last night at the Heart Breakers and with it added Kappa Beta Phi to the growing list of University organizations. As explained by one of the members this morning, the purpose of the society is to foster good fellowship and to create general interest in University affairs.
The prerequisite of membership to this order is that a member be a representative student. The society is limited to fifteen members and is strictly an upperclassmen affair. Only ten men have been selected thus far but it is expected that more will be taken in before the close of school. One member of the faculty is a member from an eastern college but his name could not be ascertained.
Kappa Beta Phi is a national social fraternity and has chapters at Cornell, Pennsylvania, Yale and at other eastern schools. Its membership is not limited to members of national Greek letter fraternities.
Those who were in the line part last night wee- ei Hal Harlan, Vane Day Ira Snyder, Ted Rehilan, H. C. Dold Robert J. Campbell, Hall Black, Win E. Holmes, Walter J. Trousdale, an K. K. Simmons.
The Weather.
The external remedy for the blues, sore throat, the grouches, chapped hands, frozen fingers and chilblains will continue one more day. The weather report is: Fair tonight and Thursday. Not much change in temperature.
Nebraska Has Most Women. The honor of having the largest co-ed enrollment of any American co-educational institution is claimed by the University of Nebraska Registration figures for women students have reached 1785.
PROTESTS ACTION OF UNIVERSITY COUNCIL
Student Representatives Object to Exemption of the Fine Arts
FROM THE ELIGIBILITY RULES.
LONE GIRL IN LIBRARY
Thinks Orchestra And Opera Students Should Take Their Medicine With The Rest.
At the regular meeting of the Men's Student Council last evening, the council decided to protest against the action of the University Council in removing the members of the University Orchestra and the Fine Arts Opera from under the control of the Faculty Committee on Organizations.
The follow protest has been presented to the Chancellor;
But It Was The Engineering Library And The Big Men Stampeded On The Spot
There has been some discussion in regard to several members of the opera whose grades make them ineligible to take part in the production if the regular rules of eligibility are applied. The University Council has but lately taken these people from under the control of the Cor-committee on Organization.
The pleasant diversion of studying with a pretty, well-dressed college girl, carrying a music roll and a French textbook, was accorded to the men who happened to be working in the Engineering library between the hours of ten and eleven yesterday morning. Thirty-five faces looked up in amazement as
"The Men's Student Council protests against the recent action of the University Council in removing the members of the University orchestra and the Fine Arts Opera from under the control of the Faculty Committee on Organization other than athletic.
"It feels that both these organizations are distinctly student activities, or should be, and as such should be under the regular eligibility rules and that if these organizations can not exist subject to these rules of eligibility they should be discontinued in the future.
A girl studying in the library of the Engineering building! What! a real Girl?
PUT AHREN'S MATTER UP
TO ELIGIBILITY COMMITTEE.
"The Council fails to see the fairness in requiring the standard of eligibility from certain organizations and exempting others of like character."
The council is now working on a revision of the constitution of the Athletic Association. The members feel that if the revision is approved that all the evils of the present system will be remedied. The revised constitution will place the matter of eligibility in the hands of the Athletic Board, Dean of the various schools and the registrar.
The Men's Student Council feels that the present system of securing grades for students in athletics is absolutely inadequate and that the blame in the "Hank" Abrens affair should rest upon the eligibility committee.
ANNOUNCEE ENGAGEMENT
OF MISS RURT WILHELM
The latest University engagement became known today, when the parents of Miss Ruth Wilhelm, '11, announced her engagement to Joseph A. Brickley, of Seattle, Washington.
Miss Wilhelm specialized in botany during her University course and has been teaching in the manual training department of the Lawrence high school this winter.
Mr. Brinkley is an honor student at the University of Missouri, graduating two years ago and is in the government forestry service.
a soft, feminine tread tiptoded lightly to a table. Thirty-five pairs of eyes gazed wonderingly at the huge volume on building which she perused so eagerly.
What on earth was she doing here, with a book like that? Weir, "Theirs not to reason why!" For twenty minutes all work was declared off. Then, after she had tripped lightly from the room, apparently unconscious of the room she was receiving, hitherto masculine faces once more bent to their work.
Twenty minutes apiece lost! That makes eleven hours and forty minutes. But it was worth it, no doubt. Hereafter, however, to avoid trouble with the faculty, all young ladies should give an hour's notice before appearing in the Engineering Library.

POOR RICHARD SAYS
Little strokes fell great oaks.
JUST THREE!
NO BRICKBATS YET.
The Daily Kansan almost feels vain. During the past few days numerous exchanges have come to the office in which were comments on the first student daily ever published in Kansas.
In every instance these comments have been laudatory, with a few suggestions as to "make-up," heads and other things affecting the appearance of the paper. Some of these comments have been supplemented by personal letters from the editors in which they extend their congratulations to the staff and to the department of journalism.
The Daily Kansan is glad to receive these words of commendation, and it is its hope to make good in all the things that our state papers have promised for it.
Our captious critic who complains that the name of the great and good Greeley was mis-spelled in the Daily Kansan yesterday should possess his soul in patience. Our proof-reader could always spell that name with ease. Today he can spell it with more ease (e e e).
A REAL W. S. G. A.
At a mass meeting yesterday the girls voted to invest its governing council with a power similar to that now held by the men. Week night dates will not be tolerated except especial instances, and a general power of surveillance of University girls' action was granted to the Association.
The action of the girls is commendable. The former Women's Student Government Association was lacking in the one element that was preeminently necessary—a power to enforce their rulings. They could dictate to the girls and they could "call them on the carpet," but when it came to meting out punishment for an infringement of the rules, they were powerless.
The University now has two governing boards to whom it entrusted the discipline of the student body. Both boards are made up entirely of students elected by the students, and if ever a test of student discipline is to be made it will be within the next few months. The Men's Student Council has taken decisive action in several cases on the violation of its rules and the University men have upheld it, in the main.
The women will be called upon to exercise just as great a power at the men, and caution, fairness and a certain amount of diplomacy will be needed to make it a success.
There is one thing that should not be allowed to creep into either council. The members must not seek to regulate too much the details of school life; the trivial and unimportant should not be sought out
Discipline can be exercised by a general overseeing of the actions of the student body. We are men and women here now and we ought not to need to be watched.
A judicious use of the power granted it, will give to the Women's Student Government Association an influence that can hardly be overestimated.
LITERARY SOCIETIES.
Within a few days there will be an attempt to rejuvenate our literary societies. To a number of people a literary society carries with it an idea of a lot of hot air surrounding a small group of pseudologicians who are completely carried away by their own verosity. This idea may apply in some of the smaller schools, but when the literary societies in other large universities are investigated, it is found that they occupy an enviable position, and that their members are students who are really interested in the problems of the day.
Several years ago the X.Y.Z. and the Adelphic societies flourished here. The members at that time however, seemed to be unable to infuse their enthusiasm into the younger members and in a short time the societies went out of existence—so far as actual work was concerned. Last year the Cooley club was organized and it appears to be enjoying good health this year. Professor Gesell and the Debating Council are anxious to see a new society formed which will be made up of men who are really interested in the work. The University needs literary societies that will do something. The reorganization that has been proposed should receive a hearty welcome.
GET OUT
This is to the follow who has thought for years that he had no ability as a track man at all; it's for the fellow who, in prep. school, ran fourth to a small; who couldn't lift a twelve pound shot; to the one who was scared to death if he jumped four feet in the air or covered more than his length in the broad jump=

AN EDITORIAL BY MR. AESOP
A WOLF had been gorging on an animal he had killed, when suddenly a small bone in the meat stuck in his swallow it. He soon felt terrible pain in his throat, and ran up and down grooming and grooming and seeking for something to relieve the pain. He then pushed him against the move the bone. "I would give anything," said he, "if you would take it out. At last the Crane agreed to try to help me move the bone, and open his jaws as wide as he could. Then the Crane put its long neck down the Wolf's throat, and with its beak the bone, till at last it got it out.
"Will you kindly give me the reward you promised?" said the Crane. "I should be given his teeth and be told." "Be content. You have put your head inside a Wolf's mouth but come out again on safety that ought to be taken."
THE EDITOR GETS ONE IN VERSE.
Since Brother Kipling penned that mess about our sisters' deadillness, they've learned his gospel word for word, and are determined, 'tis inferred, to put—since pens have vanished swords—the skids beneath Creation's Lords. They'll force Mere Man, 'tis understood, to hew the water and draw the wood. That's metaphor. Here's what I mean: we men will fight the wash machine, and cook the babe and dress the grub and fill the broom and push the tub! Alas, 'tis sad, but we may feel amid our woes a touch of weal; for 'mist the household's warring din will sound our valiant rolling pin. Yes, when old Fate misfortune sends she doles out blessings for amends, and to rejoice we'll have a cause: we'll terrorize as father-in-laws.
Sir;—I want to write about the "her," that strange unlimined unwritten thing that flies our midst on noiseless wing, that essence one might almost say of leap year spirit gone astray.
But these digressions do not show the cause of my abounding woe. What really irks me like the deuce is this: The girls are breaking loose and butting into certain pales that have been sacred to us males.
Finstance, take the Kansan staff. How it would make old timers laugh to see the women write the news! In fact it gives me purple blues to call up K. U. 25 to ask if "Cub" Baer is alive and if he is, then where the ___ are my last seven Kansans?—well, to have a gentle feminine response come rippling o'er the line, when I'm all ready primed to cuss—it makes me yearn to brew a muss.
Besides I don't see how the boys can make the proper kind of noise to print a paper when the girls infest the Kansan Office. Pearls of Womanhood are very nice when taking Doctor Day's advice, but when they take reporter's notes—Ah, me! ! ! it gets my several goats!
"WELCOME, YOUNGSTER."
THE K. U. SHEET
The result of the new effort made by the students of newspaper work at K. U. has arrived at this office. Volume 1 Number 1 of the University Daily Kansas is a neat looking paper full of University news and gossip and enlivened with a little dash of fun and a smile about a little advertising matter as a relish - to the editors and managers of the sheet.
A new print shop at K. U. is equipped for real printing and publishing and the embryo Bill White and Billy Morgan and Henry Allens and Arthur Cappers are busy at the grind that makes newspaper men—not journalists. The paper is a credit to the University.
The K. U, paper has had a varied career. The first paper issued on Mount Oread was printed a long time ago—not so long ago as was our own Campus in Ottawa, but it is venable. The present sheet, however, is an improvement in scope and undertaking. —Ottawa Herald.
A FINE DAILY SCHOOL PAPER The State University students are printing a very handsome daily newspaper. The Missouri State University students last year—and it was similar to that the Kansans are printing. Both are the very best publications of their class. Hiwatha Daily World.
We are in receipt of Vol. 1 No. 1 of the University Daily Kansan. It is published at Lawrence, Kansas by the students of the University of Kansas. It is a 6 column 4 page paper and is published every afternoon, and is very neat in appearance. We welcome the Daily Kansan to our exchange table - Waldo Advocate.
A NEW DAILY PAPER
GROUCHY GILIHAN.
We are pleased to place on our exchange list the University Dally Kansan, the bright, shiny and neat new sheet published at Kansas University under the entire control and management of the students of the school of Journalism.
The new daily bears all the murks of typographical perfection and progressive journalism and is a fine exponent of what is being done in this branch of useful study at the State University.—Clay Center Daily Republican.
After a five day's delay on account of a coal shortage at the University of Kansas, which made it impossible to get power in the buildings, the first issue of the University Daily Kansan came off the press Tuesday. It will be issued every school day of the University by members of the department of journalism. With this new daily paper the students who come to K. U will get practical experience. The new students will be studied by students, and when a graduate comes out of the department of journalism he will know news, the mechanics of printing and also the business of running a paper. The University Kansan was formerly tri-weekly—Lawrence Democrat.

A College Daily.
We are in receipt of Vol. 1, No. 1 of the University Daily Kansan, a neat six column, four page daily, published by the students of the department of journalism at K. U. The Kansan carries numerous ads for various business firms, but its news department is devoted to the University and the stu-
The Daily Kansan, issued by the students of the department of journalism at the State University, was launched this week. It is a creditable publication, splendidly printed and well edited. The typographical features are so perfect that their very perfection is well-nigh overdone in some points. The work of issuing the paper is good practical work for the students.-Russell Republic.
Warm Words of Welcome from the Lawrence Daily Papers:
Following are extracts from telegrams and letters received by the editor of the Daily Kansan:
Abilene, Kansas.
Abnebbi, Kalafani.
The first issue of the Daily Kansasian promises a paper to the University should be proud. It looks right, reads well, and has the marks of a real newspaper, style and touch.
My congratulations to the staff.
C. M. HARGER
I wish to extend heartiest congratulations on the launching of the Daily Kansan. It is a most excellent publication—a credit to Kansas newspaperdom and a very convincing proof that the practice as well as the theory of journalism is to be obtained by all persons pursuing this department of the University.
Especially well balanced and well written are the headings over your first page stories. These headings give evidence of a very careful and "know how" analysis of the news value of each story.
You do not seem to be in need of any suggestions for improving your paper—and judging by the first issue, you and your associates are fully capable of putting to best possible use all the information upon which you have to work.
I might suggest that, as a diversion from the writing of purely local news stories, the students occasionally undertake the discussion of social problems and other matters of world interest on your editorial page.
Thank you for sending me the first issue of the Daily Kansan. I have not had time to read it closely but it seems to be filled with live stuff for its field. The general appearance of the paper is pleasing but I can not say that the step-ladder heads appeal to me.
ARTHUR CAPPER,
Publisher of the Topela Capital.
I have read number one and number two of the Daily Kansan, with a whole lot of pleasure. It is breezy and effective and has an air somehow far away from the stereotyped newspaper. It seems to me it is a splendid idea and you and your boys are to be congratulated on the start you have made. And speaking of stereotyped writing, did you ever notice how hell bent the new local man and the new editorial man is to express himself in what he conceives to be newspaper style and newspaper English? There should be neither, as a matter of fact, and the best reporter is the one who tells his story in his own way without limiting himself to the way it has been told since newspapers started. Wishing you all the success in the world,
R. E. STOUT,
Managing Editor Kansas City Star.
I am getting the paper and appreciate the favor. Your daily looks like a newspaper; reads like a newspaper; and is a newspaper. It's great, and I want to congratulate you upon your fine production.

Correspondent Kansas City Journal.
D. A. VALENTINE,
Clerk of the Supreme Court of Kansas.
The Daily Kansan is fine and I know it will succeed. It is a good thing for the University, and for everybody connected therewith.
W. Y. MORGAN, Hutchinson News.
Thank you very much for putting me on the mailing list of the Daily Kansan. It looks good to me, although I am not a K. U. man. I think you are going to get a lot of mighty good information in it, stuff that will be valuable to the University. I am sending a story on the aeronautical work the University is doing to my Eastern papers this week. I stole it from the Kansan and hope to steal many more.

Here's wishing you success. You may not make any money but you'll have lots of fun. Have been running a paper for twenty-six years out here in the short-grass country and I have had much more than my share of a boisterous good time.
If I were asked what I consider the thing in a newspaper which its readers value the most I should say, Sinceicity, Reliability, Honesty, all meaning the same thing. Never deliberately mislead your readers. And your days will be long in the land. Good by and good luck.

"RUSTY" RUSSELL,
Let me congratulate you on your first issue of the Daily. If the rest to follow are as good as this one, it will be a "dinger".
Cambridge, Mass.
I have just finished reading the first issue of the Daily and want to congratulate you and the Board and hope that
you have the best of success with the venture. It looks like a newspaper now and has some news in it that is interesting. I know that it will continue so and that the Daily will soon become a necessary fixture in the school.
HOMER BERGER,
A copy of the new Daily Kansan is at hand. It is a work worthy of much praise. In typography and news it is a compliment to the talent you have in your department of journalism. But such words of praise will give your boys a self-satisfied air which will block improvement, so I will take my cue from your invitation for "suggestions."
First, I would never permit the "make-up" to divide a story in order to get three leaders at the top of the column as occurs on page four. The convenience of those who read a paper should take precedence over the taste of those who look at it. A good "balance" in heads helps the looks of a paper, but it often leads to a nuisance comment to many readers and magazine stresses chasing around for the end of a good story he started on the first page. Please train us some journalists who won't stand for this.
Secondly, in your University daily and your class in journalism, you have an opportunity to work out the solution of some of the problems of a newspaper ethics, which most of us in the busy world do not have time to deal with. So I would suggest that you take our newspaper code of ethics dividing it into "takes" and assign two members of your class to each of the following topics into which the code is divided, as it appears in the eighteenth annual report of the Editorial Association: "In Advertising," "In Circulation," "In Estimating," "The Editor—News," "For the Editor—Views."
Let one member defend the code in his particular topic and let his partner oppose it. I suggest that you put your most capable talent on the negative side each time, as we will be more benefited by an intelligent and capable criticism, than we will by praise and defense. As you will appreciate by a perusal of the code, the last two topics will call for talent of an entirely different nature and probably more age than the preceding topics which deal more with business problems.

Twelve or fifteen of the University girls together with a like number of girls who work downtown will meet Wednesday night to form a Social Center Club. The meeting will be held at the Y. M. C. A. Building in town. This is the first attempt in Lawrence at carrying out the Social Center idea, a movement which is being carried on all over the state.
The idea is to have a club in which the girls downtown and those at the University may come to know each other. It is hoped that the school building can be obtained for the meetings. Mr. Ralph Spotts who is traveling in the interest of Social Center work for the University Extension Department has helped in the plans and plans of making it as it is the first of its kind in the state. Most social center clubs are neighborhood affairs.
The first meeting will be devoted largely to electing a committee on con
stitution and on program. Half of the regular meetings is to be given to folk-dancing, with Miss Rose Abbott of the University Gymnasium as teacher. This folk-dancing has been found very enjoyable and successful in many other such clubs. The rest of the time will probably be spent in other activities of a social rather than a literary nature. Miss Mary Redding has charge of the plans for the club at present.

Notwithstanding the fact that you, as well as a large number of our Lace Department friends, undoubtedly appreciated the wonderful lace values we took pleasure in submitting to you during 1911, and while you may have been entirely satisfied with the money-values you invariably found at the Kress Lace Department—still we are not content to show the same or equal values as last year though they might be somewhat better values than other merchants'; for if our lace-values are not vastly superior and beyond all possible comparison, then we have not lived up to our ideal nor done as well in the buying for Kress customers as it is within our power to do.
We want you to expect better and greater values than those which surprised you last year and, in inspecting our Baby Irish, Clunys, Linens, Torchons, All-Overs, etc., we would like to have you bear this statement in mind for we feel confident with you to see our 1912 lace values is but to secure your further approval and appreciation that we have "made good" in our efforts to supply your 1912 lace-needs with lace values that are unsurpassable.
"A Kress Customer--always a Kress Customer." This is true because while the KRESS SERVICE, courtesy and attention to patrons may be imitated, KRESS VALUES cannot even be approached. To prove this and at the same time permit yourself to become a permanent Kress patron, compare one yard of our Valenciennes lace at 60 per yard with the nearest approach in quality, design and pattern you can find elsewhere, note the difference in prices--that's all.
The early shoppers will have the advantage of the selection; that is their privilege, of course.
OPENING LACE SALE NEXT MONDAY.
We extend to you a cordial invitation to inspect our 1912 Lace Department. Serviceably yours.
KRESS' 5-10 AND 25CENT STORE
There is nothing unusual, extraordinary or mysterious about our ability to secure exceptional and unusual lace-values, for our buying power (purchasing for over one hundred Kress stores) enables our experienced buyers to secure and submit for your approval the best, newest and most appropriate laces, designs and patterns which the foreign lace markets have to submit; consequently, we are telling you in advance of our

GRAFTERS AFTER HIM
Would Have H. C. Simpson Spend His Money on Their Inventions
Henry C. Simpson, a freshman in the'College who has but lately inherited considerable property from his grandfather, is having trouble in retaining possession of his money now that he has it. He has received no less than fifteen offers from people who wish to "let him in on the ground floor" of a good money making proposition. He has been asked to buy stock in corporations ranging from the manufacture of cheese to acroplanes. In most of these cases he has ignored the letters but in a few instances he has written back that he does not desire to invest his money in that certain or rather uncertain line of business.
The inventor also explains that it may be used as a sort of refrigerator by "banging it up in the cellar away from ants and other small domestic animals."
His latest offer is from a lady in Red Bird, Nebraska, a village which boasts of "two stores and a postoffice in a building by itself." This offer was to purchase, for the nominal sum of $25,000, the patent rights in an up to date lunch box. This box the inventor says will, as soon as it is placed on the market, be in great demand by the people who attend picnics as it is so constructed as to carry "cakes and pies with the fussiest kind of trimmings without smashing them the smallest mite." The photographs which accompany the offer, gives one the impression of a gasoline bake-oven with the handle on the ton instead of the side.
The inventor is sure that Fourth of July, G. A. R. and lodge pienics are increasing in number every year and that she has read of some people receiving as high as $3,000 for a single invention but that she is willing to sell for a little less if the deal can be closed immediately.
Mr. Simpson deelines to say whether or not he will purchase the inventor's right.
EDUCATIONAL PAMPHLET OUT
Dean Johnston's Office Sending Out Fifteen Thousand Copies.
Fifteen thousand copies of an important educational pamphlet are this week,出去 from the office of Prof. Chas. H. Johnston, Dean of the School of Education, to the various high schools over the state. This pamphlet contains the principles which will govern the educational policy of Kansas for the year 1912.
Some space is devoted to the Teacher's Association recommending the association to take steps toward introducing a better system of protecting the health and morals of the public school pupils.
The book discusses many problems of general education, including work in the grade and high schools, normal institutes and denominational schools. The writer of the book advocates the teaching of hygiene, sanitation and preventative medicine in all the high schools of the state.
The pamphlet also gives a complete report of the Committee on Resolutions which was adopted by the Kansas State Teachers' Association at its last meeting.
STUDENTS DO CHARITY WORK
President Vincent's Address at Minnesota Obtained Services of 8
Eight students of the University of Minnesota have volunteered their services to the Associated Charities. After listening to an address on the duties the students owe to the community, by their president, Geo. E. Vincent, they decided to give all their spare time to the charity work.
The May Festival at the University of Minnesota netted $1,500 and the Men's Union got the proceeds.
Seven of the eight who volunteered are women and they began work immediately. Several of them went to the headquarters of the association and received requests for clothing and food from the poor over the telephone. Their strenuous efforts were appreciated by the association and the officers gave them all the assistance possible. They will continue their work as long as the cold weather continues.
Final examinations have been abolished at the University of Nebraska.

A lyrical man was he.
His purple nose, his lustrous eyes. And a song, were one in three.
His thoughts were of the flowing kind,
They flowed from beneath his hat. Truer words can never you find,
That "a man's a man for a' that?"
The Scotch may think, the Scotch may drink.
And Scotch is drunk forever.
Then let's take a drink of good Scotch ink

UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
THERE MAY BE A FOOTBALL SCRAP
Lively Session Anticipated When the Rules Committee Meet.
FORWARD PASS THE CAUSE.
The West Favors The Retention of
The Open Play, The East Hopes
For Its Abolition.
If the advance notices are lived up to there will be a battle royal when the members of the Intercollegiate rules committee assemble in executive session next month.
The rules committee is composed of fourteen men, seven representing the National Collegiate Association, and seven from the Eastern Collegiate Association. The committeemen of the two organizations are far apart in their opinions of what the rules governing next season's football should be.
The most contention seems to be over the forward pass. The majority of the large schools of the east, and therefore the Eastern association, are opposed to it's retention. On the other hand the National Association at its recent meeting, recommended the use and further development, of the open play. This latter organization largely represents western sentiment.
The position taken by the eastern schools hinges upon the number of tie games, many without a score, that were played last season. The opponents of the pass lay this situation at its door. They claim that the pass and the general adoption of open play has weakened the game by destroying all proportion between offense and defense.
Luck Too Important.
It is pointed out that the entire playing of the game has come to be the taking advantage of the opponents mistakes or ill luck. The defense when set to block close formations is powerless to check the open plays. On the other hand when a team is prepared to defend against the open play, it's line is at the mercy of the mass formations of the offense check gain on open plays. On the other hand when the team is defending against open play the line is at the mercy of the mass formations of the offense.
The National Collegiate Association in their recent New York meeting decided in favor of the game as played last year with but few changes. Dr. Williams, of Minnesota, who is chairman of this organization's rules committee, and therefore a member of the National rules committee, said that the reason why so much opposition had developed to the open style of play was the ignorance of the player: themselves as to when and how it should be used. Many tie scores were occasioned, according to Dr. Williams, by the fact that quarterbacks were inefficient or careless in the use of the pass.
Would Not Restrict Pass.
Instead of abolishing the pass
dr. Williams desired to remove all
restrictions from its use. This he
contended would remove the num-
erous technicalities that have arisen
through its use which have tended
to slow up the game.
The abolition of the forward pass will be strongly urged by Yale and Princeton it is said. Harvard will support their views through her representatives and are in a way bound to the decision of the National College association of which the Crimson school is a member.
The friends of the forward pass are making their greatest stand up on the argument that not a single fatal injury marred the college football season this year. This argument though it invades the realm of speculation is one that the opponents of the open game will have trouble in answering.

DON HENDRICKSON
DIES IN EL PASO
Was President of Freshmen Class and Member of Alpha Tau Fraternity
Word was received at the University today of the death of Donald C Hendrickson, in El Paso, Texas. Hendrickson attended the College last year and was president of the freshman class. Although he spent but one year here he was a well known student. He was a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity, Hendrickson was one of the strongest all-round athletes that ever entered the University, but he took no part in freshman athletics last year on account of a sprained knee.
Hendrickson competed for the Central High school in 1906-9 and was a star performer in the high and low hurdles, high jump and broad jump. He was a consistent point winner and captain of the Central track team of 1909 that won the city and Missouri Valley championships and took third in Stagg's meet in Chicago. He was a member of the Kansas City Y. M. C. A. fourman track team which won the international Y. M. C. A. championship in Seattle July 25, 1909. At that time he took first in the 120 and 220-yard hurdles and third on the broad jump in spite of a sprained knee.
Last fall just before time for returning to the University, Hendrickson became ill and went to an El Paso sanatorium in the hopes of bettering his health. His condition slowly became worse and he died Monday afternoon. The burial will take place at his home in Kansas City, Mo.

Practice is Lowering the Receipts of the Athletic Association
MUST STOP LENDING ATHLETIC TICKET
BOOKS WILL BE CONFISCATED.
Unless Tickets Have Signature of The Foouser Holder Will be Refused Admission Friday Night
A warning was issued this morning by W. O. Hamilton, head of the athletic department, against the practice of students loaning their Student Enterprise tickets. This practice is growing to such an extent among the members of the student body that the receipts in this department in all athletic contests are growing noticeably smaller.
From now on all books that are presented by other than the original owner will be confiscated and will not be returned.
It has been decided that all books must have the signature of the buyer on the cover, or they will not be accepted. This rule will be rigidly enforced at the basket-ball game Friday night and all students should see that their ticket is properly signed before going to the gymnasium.
Coach Hamilton said this morning, "Something will have to be done to stop the practice of interchange student tickets. It is directly contrary to the original idea of the enterprise ticket and is cutting down to a great extent the gross receipts of the athletic department. There is a stipulation on the back of the coupon book which states clearly that they are 'not transferable'. However a great many are ignorant of the notice and in all probability they would be more careful if this fact were called to their attention. All tickets will be required to be signed in the future and if any one is discovered presenting another person's book it will be confiscated and not returned to the original owner."
A new student's book is being planned for next year whereby the original owner may be identified. The buyer will be made to pledge himself at the beginning of the year not to lend his book to anyone.
The arrangement of tickets is also being changed so that it will be easier for the gatekeeper to know just what ticket should be extracted for each particular game. Muel confusion at the gate will in this way be avoided.
MINNESOTA CAPTAIN
WAS REFUSED LETTER
Pickering Was Protested by Wisconsin Just Before the Badger-Gopher Game.
Captain Earl Pickering of the Minnesota football team has been officially denied his "M" by the athletic board. The refusals was made in a negative way, the board simply leaving his name off the list of fifteen men who were awarded the letter. This action is the result of Wisconsin's protest of the Minnesota captain last fall, four days before the Gopher-Badger game, on account of having played summer baseball and its attendant developments.
A general feeling has prevailed on the campus during the last few weeks that should Fickering be granted his "M" the university would revoke the action of the board in order to express sufficient disap proval of the former captain's action in falsely swearing to the eligibility committee.
WALTER MAYER MAKING
GOOD AT SUMMERFIELD.
FRESHMEN WANT FOOD
Walter Mayer, a graduate in the class of 1911, and a prominent Y. M. C. A. worker, is teaching at Summerfield, Kansas. Mayer is principal of the combined high and grade schools and reports from that town seem to indicate that he is making good.
Winners of School Championship Besiege Coach Hamilton for Promised Spread
The men who composed the freshman football team are hungry, very hungry.
Some time before Christmas the class football teams entered a tournament for the championship of the University.
But a mere championship was not all. The victorious team was promised a "heavy feed" by the athletic association.
Nobly the stars and the near stars responded. Fiercely they struggled to annex those eats.
When the smoke of the final battle had cleared away it had been decided, by a score of some 40 to 0, that the 'Fresh' had a meal coming.
Manager Hamilton, on behalf of the athletic association, of course heaved a mighty sigh. He did no', in the least object to paying for lunch for any ordinary bunch—but that freshman beef trust. Ach Himmel!
And now the manager is waiting for a decrease in the high cost of living.
Meanwhile the freshmen are getting hungrier and hungrier.
FRESHMEN GYM CLASSES
LEARNING BASKET-BALL
Tournament Being Held by First Year Men-Future Varsity Material Developing.
The freshmen gym classes have taken up basket-ball. Teams have been organized from the respective classes and a tournament is being held. There is considerable irregularity in the hours of practice and in the dates of the match games due to the fact that the gym floor is in use so much of the time. Each team manages to practice three times a week however and the men are developing some of the finer points of the game. Some of the men are developing
Some of the men are developing rapidly and there is a very possible chance that some of the team will be seen in varsity uniforms next year.

Rev. Powell Spoke Sunday Night on
Founder of Y, M. C. A.
TOLD OF SIR GEO. WILLIAMS
"What One Man Did For Young Men," was the topic of Dr. Wm. A Powell's lecture-sermon Sunday night at the Presbyterian church. It was an account of the life work of Sir George Williams, founder of the Y. M. C. A., who was knighted by Queen Victoria for his gerat work.
The speaker made the point, which Carlyle emphasized in his "Heroes and Hero-worship," that the great man is needed for the great movement.
He read alight the cause of the wholesale ruin of the young men of London, in the drapeved and depriving social surroundings, which met the great incoming waves of people to the great city, especially when no home was established. The whole of a man must be saved together body, soul and spirit, is the teaching handed down to us by this prince of men, and the Men and Religion Forward Movement are making a fresh and larger application of this principle and method of work for men and boys.
George Williams learned the dry goods business thoroughly from the bottom up, and, as the head of a great house, learned and taught the great lesson that the great value in business, as everywhere, is not material but spiritual, that men are infinitely more than money.

ENGINEERS DAY TO BE BIGGER AND BETTER
Plans Launched at Mass Meeting and Committees Appointed
BANQUET COMES FEBRUARY 13
Will be Put Within Reach of All
And New Stunts And Lots
of Them.
Plans for a bigger and better Engineers' Day, together with other plans for the annual Engineers' banquet, were launched at a mass meeting held in the Engineering school yesterday morning at the call of President Edmund Rhodes.
March 29 is announced as the of official Engineers' Day.
A committee of twelve men, two from each of the six Engineering societies, were appointed by President Rhodes to prepare plans for each society on Engineers' Day. New stunts, and more of them, is the aim of the committee. Owing to the interest aroused the Municipal Engineers were this year admittent into the plans for a joint celebration.
It was also decided to hold the annual Engineers' banquet on the evening of Feb. 13. An additional committee of five men was appointed to take charge of the preliminary work for the banquet.
"We hope to put the banquet within the reach of the entire Engineering school more than ever before," said President Rhodes today, in speaking of plans.
Prof. H. A. Price was elected toastmaster.
Some good stunts are promised for this year's banquet. Last year the Electricals featured with a miniature electric locomotive and railway run upon the banquet tables and other electrical lighting effects All the Engineering societies are expecting to furnish special stunts this year.
Following are the committees appointed today by President Rhodes
Refreshments—E. E. Stephens, chairman, R. M. Smith, R. N. Hoffman.
Speakers—M. C. Conley, chairman, Geo. O. Peterson.
Mechanicals—L. E. Knerr, R. H.
Forney.
Electricals—D. E. Marvel, T. P Steeper.
Miners—C. M. Coates, Hainbach.
Chemical—G. A. Bragg, J. D. Mannett
Civils—H. B. Becker, B. E. Dodge Municipals—T. A. Davenport, F. D. Messenger.
The Weather.
Spring apparently is coming so if you want to act according to indications and the weather report get out your Oxfords if you want to be comfortable. The report is: Generally fair tonight and Friday. Warmer tonight.
PROF. HARDY OF OTTAWA
TO TEACH IN SUMMER SCHOOL
Prof. Charles O. Hardy, head of the department of History and Economics of Ottawa University, has been appointed to the Kansas University Summer School for the summer of 1912.
This will be a course for which Prof. Hardy's study renders him peculiarly qualified, a large part of his graduate work having been done in Modern European history. Before going to Ottawa University Professor Hardy spent two years at Chicago University.
SOPH. GETS IN TOUCH WITH THE ENGINEERS
He will teach a three weeks' supplementary course in "The French Revolution"; the course to continue from July 18 to August 8.
Sparkler
This morning an unsuspecting college sophomore - sophomore, mind you, inadvertently stepped into a draughting room in the Engineering building. Twelve brawny engineers looked up, frowning. Then savage smiles of joy lit up their ferocious faces.
A volume of magazines believed to be the oldest literary publication by undergraduates in any American college is the latest addition to the library of the journalism department. It was presented by Prof. S. L. Whitcomb. The name of the magazine is Horne Collegeiana, and it was published at Amberst college in 1888.
Spanked!
In an instant the frightened Soph was surrounded, ambushed, overwhelmed, and, in less time than it takes to tell it, his trembling frame was stretched out on a draughting table. Twelve barrel staves appeared from somewhere, and the drum was filled with sweet music the hungry ears of the bloody thirsty assassins.
. Then he was cast forth into the hall, from whence he hastened to the more civilized eastern side of the campus, a sadder but wiser Sophomore.

CHEMISTRY BUILDING GETS A SULPHURIC ACID BATH
No, that isn't the new yell of the Domestic Science department but the racket made yesterday by the breaking of a demijohn over in the Chemistry building. It contained—not what a demijohn is generally supposed to hold and what you think it should, but about ten gallons of sulphuric acid.
Yesterday afternoon the janitors were wheeling into the Chemistry building a ten gallon demijohn—the kitchen was full of them, those many slips 'twixt the etc.,
occurred and as a result the carboy toppled off the truck and broke. The acid spread out over the floor like molasses over a hot pancake while the air was filled with sulphurous fumes and profanity.
A nearby chemist (name unknown), rushed out and stopped the sizzling and fuming by neutralizing it with sodium carbonate.
After the excitement was over the jantiers got out their buckets and mops and as they scrubbed away one was heard to exclaim in the language of Macbeth, "Out damned spot." But it would not out.

Writes Interestingly From Old Mexican Cities He Is Visiting

From the City of Mexico Dean Temlin writes:
Dean Templin, who takes his vacation in the winter and stays"on the job" during the summer when everybody else is away, is now in the City of Mexico. He expects to be at his desk again at 10 a.m. on the opening day of the second semester.
"I went to the Museum of Antiquities which is replete with evidences of the savagery of the Aztecs and equally of the Spaniards who conquered them. For example, here is the sacrificial stone upon which hundreds of thousands of innocent victims had their hearts extracted and offered to the ugly god whose enormous figure stands near by. There are many great stone bowls which were used to hold human hearts.
"The Zapatistas are apparently growing bolder. They are raiding farms and sacking villages within fifty miles of the capital. Military law was declared yesterday and it is expected that an end will be put to all this. It is really an uprising of the poor people against the landlords who are Spaniards. Of course the government has to support the landlord. Mexico is a sea of misery on which float, in aid magnificence, a few lazier priests and cruel landlords."
"I'll take a final turn in the great Alameda where a fine band plays every evening while the natives in picturesque costume lounge and smoke, and around the unfinished twelve million dollar marble opera house! There's nothing like it in the United States, but the nabos wanted it and the state is building it.
In another letter from Pueblo, Dean Tromelin speaks of the beautiful plaza.
"It is the spot where five hundred Americans routed twenty-five hundred Mexicans and I take no pride in that event. We could do it again with no credit to ourselves. I arrived here this evening having left Orizaba at ten this morning. Most of the way, after reaching the highlands, was hot and dusty. Climbing out of the terra templa took me up through wonderful mountain scenery. I'm sure there is nothing like it, at least surpassing it, in both beauty and sublimity. Yesterday I climbed to the top of a mountain above the town and looked out over the valley. It is beautiful beyond description. It is constantly and tantalizingly picturesque. One could live there, I imagine, and almost lose interest in the rest of the world.
"Through the day it gets quite warm, especially in the sun, on these highlands, but at night it seems very cold. No one has any means of keeping warm except by wrapping up in a blanket. Out on the plaza I saw only one other man with an overcoat almost all the others having blankets, usually bright-hued, which they drew about their bodies and over their mouths. Straw hats, and cotton trousers complete the dress of most of them."
Dr. Edna Day, head of the domestic science department, will address the students of the Agricultural college at Manhattan in chapel next Saturday on "The Broader Aspect of Domestic Science Training." She will be in Manhattan to meet with a committee which will consider the standardization of domestic science work in the high schools of the state.
DEAN SKILTON REPLIES TO COUNCIL PROTEST
The honor system has just been introduced into the University of Kentucky.
Explains Why Orchestra and Chorus Should be Exempted

Cites Band and Players in May Fete as
Precedents for University
Council's Action
Dean Skilton has taken exception to the protest of the Student Council against the action of the University Council in removing members of the Fine Arts Opera from under the control of the faculty committee on organization.
"The opera consists of three parts, the cast, the chorus and the orchestra." Dean Skilton said this afternoon: "The Council has voted that chorus and orchestra should not be subject to eligibility rules. This does not apply to the cast nor to the orchestra when giving concerts of its own. In the present opera selections are not ask two in the cast, thirty-two in the chorus and twenty-six in the orchestra. The cast, in itself, is as large as an average student organization and every member has been passed by the Eligibility Committee.
"No other organization possesses anything corresponding to the chorus and orchestra. Moreover, the opera is not strictly a student enterprise but is given by the School of Fine Arts for the chief purpose of training the voice and violin students in such work as is required of such students. Four members of the Fine Arts faculty prepare the production, devoting from four to ten hours a week for three months without financial compensation to the work which they consider as educational in character as some regular classes.
"The part of the orchestra is the subordinate one of accompanying and it is a great undertaking to find thirty-two singers for a chorus. In view of these facts the council took its action and it can hardly be claimed that they were aware of what happened when all who are on the same footing are subject to eligibility rules.
Orchestra of Students Will Play at "Billy" Feb.12 Special Scenery
"It should also be remembered that neither band nor participants in the May Fete are subject to eligibility rules and they furnish the only possible comparison with the position of the chorus and orchestra in connection with the opera."

POOR RICHARD SAYS
He that lives upon hope will die fasting.
TWO MORE
TWO UNTIMELY DEATHS
Within the past few weeks death has claimed two of the most popular men who ever attended the University. Shortly after the Christmas vacation, Dan Nevinger, a graduate of the School of Engineering and the first president of the Men's Student Council, was killed in a powder mill near Galena, Kans. Yesterday the Daily Kansan chronicled the death of Don Hendrickson, a freshman in the College last year, who was president of his class and who during his one year at the University, gave promise of making an exceptional record as an athlete.
These two untimely deaths were a shock to the many students who knew the men while they were in school. Both exemplified those fine qualities of manhood that make them stand above their fellows. Both were leaders. They were men who were aggressive, who took the initiative in all things that tended for a better University.
They represented a high type of the college man; a type toward which we all might well strive.
Many students are laboring under the delusion that they are putting a lot of steam into their work. Examinations will probably show that it was all dry hot air.
The Topeka State Journal points out that the University is well toward the front rank of the "higher education" movement since it has established a department of aeronautics.
A WORD TO THE WISE.
Here is a little thought for today — also for tomorrow and for the next day and for all next week. If you have any intention of doing a little cheating in the approaching examinations, you are running a big risk of being suspended from school. In every examination there is always a temptation to borrow a little from your neighbor and in former years the cases of cheating have been handled by the professor in charge. This year according to the ruling of the Men's Student Council any student caught in the act of cheating will be brought before the council and immediate action will be taken upon his violation of the ethical principles that govern all examinations.
Before the holidays a sophomore was caught borrowing a few sentiments from his neighbor and the council gave him a three week's "lay off" in which to meditate on the matter. This action is only an example of what the council intends to do with all those who are caught in the future.
Although no concerted efforts will be made to apprehend cheaters, the
Student Council is determined to make the punishment for the offense sufficiently severe that probable offenders will hesitate before they seek aid from a brother student. This is just a little hint and a word to the wise is sufficient.
Some faceted student writes the Daily Kansan that the red headed girls sorority should be called Rho Epsilon Sorority. Get it?
THE COLLEGE THIEF.
The late Mr. Crane devoted a considerable share of the later years o his life in an effort to show that the evils existing in colleges are great and numerous. But one thing that he evidently missed was an exorcation of the college thief.
This pest has worked his nefarious trade for so many years at the University that he has become almost a tradition that seniors tolerate and freshmen expect.
There is probably no student in school who has not experienced some inconvenience and actual loss from the work of these vandals who sneak in and out of the buildings on the campus and carry away with them some small articles that are not easily identified.
In most cases the loss is not great. For this reason probably this petty thieving has been endured. Several efforts have been made to catch the thieves but without success. The college thief is the essence of all that is mean and sneaking.
COLLEGE CHANGES
In the Harvard "Alumni Bulletin" are printed certain percentages showing the choice of studies made by undergraduates. For the two last years of their course forty-five per cent of the Harvard sophomores specialize in economics, history, and government; thirty per cent in languages, literature, art, and music; twenty-three per cent in natural science; only two per cent in philosophy and mathematics. It should be added that modern languages are preferred in a great majority of cases to what we still call the classics. The change in the department of study popular today as compared with earlier conditions is not a little accountable to a change in the kind of homes from which college students come forth. Formerly it was the son of the clerkman, the lawyer, the physician—sometimes, of course, the banker's son, who capped his high school or academy course with four years of college. Today the majority of students are probably sons of "business men," or of some class of employees. The proportion would naturally be even more marked at certain other institutions. It is an inevitable result of changing political and economic conditions, a result seen long ago by Charles William Eliot, who has always had a sense of the meaning of democracy and a superb talent for guiding and satisfying, instead of opposing, the inevitable movements of his time.—Collier's Weekly.
The University Daily Kansan makes the proud boast that since it has moved into rooms formerly occupied by the Medical School it is disinfected by formaldehyde. Huh, that's nothing. We know of a lot of papers that are disinfected every once in a while by the faculty—Drake Delphite.

TOO MANY SOCIETIES?
Is it really desirable to have more class societies, as was advocated in a recent editorial in the Kansan? Are the class societies that already exist really representative of the classes they pretend to represent? Are they composed of the best men of the classes, or merely the average men? Or are they composed of average or even inferior men who presume they are the best? I mean to cast absolutely no reflections upon anyone in asking these questions. They are merely phases of the larger question: are these societies worth while?
The University is training men for citizenship in a democracy. Is the spirit of little social cliques and organizations the spirit that should prevail in a democracy? This is the spirit that is fostered by these so-called societies and petty organizations.
Isn't there at present a tendency at the university of Kansas (perhaps elsewhere, also) to go mad over organizations? Could we not as students do ourselves a little more permanent good during our college course by buckling down more closely to study rather than spending a large portion of our time on unimportant organizations and in trying to ape the doings of our elders out in the affairs of the world? If we must have organizations let them be few in number each one performing some definite and necessary function, each one formed by reason of and in the interest of the larger needs of the student body.
INVENTS NEW A. B.C'S
Prof. F. N. Scott, of the rhetoric department, has invented a new alphabet, according to the Michigan Daily. It was the result of a scientific investigation which was conducted in order to discover the smallest number of printed marks or signs by which the sounds of English speech may be represented to the eye. An upright stem was taken as the basis of the consonantal system to which projections were added to the right and left. The vowels are represented by dashes and circles.
C. G. F.
The alphabet was presented at a meeting of the Modern Language Association held in Chicago recently. It is intended for phoneticians and not for the general public. Prof. Scott states that his object in inventing the alphabet was the same as that of an astronomer working on a difficult problem in celestial mechanics.
The idea that the new alphabet would replace the English alphabet was not the thought of its inventor. It was not intended for practical use but if anything should happen to the old English alphabet it might come in handy.
I slept and dreamed that life was
I woke and found that life was Duty Was then thy dream a shadowy lie? Was there such a heart, courageously, And thus thou shalt be to be A moody light and truth to thee.

GLAD HAND TO THE DAILY
The first number of the Daily Kansan has reached the Union. The Kansan has always been a mighty good college paper under student management. As a daily it is entering a rather difficult field. The demands both for time and money in the conduct of any sort of a daily paper are very considerable. The young men who are undertaking to publish a high class daily at the University of Kansas will no doubt realize this in a short time. But the experiment is well worth the while. The aspiring students of journalism will be afforded an opportunity for work as nearly like that on a real newspaper as is possible in any school or college. The University Kansan differs from the daily paper issued by many other schools of journalism in that it is wholly a student enterprise both in the business and editorial department. It must pay its way and it must satisfy its constitution to Mt. Oread or it must die. And this is the sort of responsibility that is likely to be of the most benefit to the young journalists of the University who cherish the entirely laudable ambition of making newspaper men of themselves by the time their beards are well established. The conditions under which the staff of the Kansan must succeed or fail are pretty nearly normal. The results therefore should be of great value to the boys who make the paper and of considerable advantage to the University student body whose daily life and work it must interpret and transmit to the outside and actual world of affairs.
SALINA UNION
Kansas State University now has a daily paper—The University Daily Kansan. It is the same size as the Review, and is one of the neatest papers we have seen. The paper is check full of interesting matter relating to the University and contributions from pupils. Indeed, it is published by the students of the University from the press of the department of journalism Parents who have sons and daughters and all others who are interested in the University should send for the Kansan.
GARNETT EVENING REVIEW.
A new daily appeared in our exchange this morning published by the students of the State University at Lawrence.
The students formerly published a paper three times a week. The new paper is a good one from every point, because it is useful and it should be successful in its mission.
NORTON TELEGRAM.
The first number of the University Daily Kansan has arrived at this office. It is the new daily paper issued from the press of the department of journalism of the University of Kansas and published every afternoon by the students.
Up to the present the University has been content with the publication of a tri-weekly paper, but the students now are beginning to take into the field of daily journalism.
The University has a department of journalism with a well-equipped laboratory and all the resources of the university are used to give the paper a good appearance.
The initial issue of the daily is printed on a good quality of paper from nice new type, skillfully made up in the
WAITING
Serene I fold my arms and wait,
No care for wind, nor nidle, nor sea.
I rave no more 'gainst time or fate,
For lo! my own shall come to me.
I stay my haste, I make delays,
For what avails this eager pace?
I stand and the eternal ways,
And what is mine shall know my face.
Asleep, awake, by night or day.
The friends I seek are seeking me;
No wind can drive my bark atray;
Nor change the tide of destiny.
What matter if I stand alone?
I wait with joy the coming years;
My heart shall reap where it has sown
And garner up its fruit of tears.
The waters know their own, and draw
The trees that sprouts in yonder
height
So flows the good with equal law Unto the soul of pure delight.
forms, which conjunction of happy circ-
 circumstances gives the paper a very smart appearance—an excellent accom-
 accomplishment which the student body may take a commendable pride in attaining.
The floweret nodding in the wind is ready plighted to the bee; And, maiden, why that look unkind? For lo! thy llower seeketh thee.
The stars come nightly to the sky;
The tidal wave unto the sea;
Nor time, nor space, nor deep, non
high
Can keep my own away from me.
—JOHN BURROUCHS.
It only remains for us to say that Milton Baer, of this city, is the circulation manager of the paper.
BELOIT CALL.
I cannot remember any college paper that ever made a better impression upon me than did the first issue of the University Daily Kansan, which I received tonight. So far as make-up is concerned, in my mind it excels many of the dailies of the Eastern schools. It looks like a real newspaper. The news standard and the features of the initial number are above par, and I'm sure the new daily is going to be welcomed as heartily by the alumni as dinner at home used to be when we were in school.
Those who knew the Kansan a half a dozen years ago will remember the little 4-column hand-bill that used to make its appearance a couple of times a week. That leaflet was blotted out of the minds of K. U. students by the five-column tri-weekly. And we all wondered how we ever stood for the little news giver. It will be the same with a four-column tri-weekly and six-column tri-weekly, like the new paper's readers will ever vote to go back. Whenever there's a place open on the force let me know and I'll come back.
EARL FISCHER. Topeka Capital.
I was surprised to see a university daily so full of good newspaper work. It was cleanly gotten up, bright, newey and intelligently edited. The headlines attracted my attention especially. They told what the stories were about—something that newspaper heads do not always do—and told it in an intelligent way. There was nothing cryptic about them.
proper restraint and still effectively played up and a good newspaper style was everywhere in evidence. The dearth of superlatives, long words and fine writing is gratifying. It struck me that the editorial page was especially neat in make up and general planning.

So you are mighty lucky right at the start in having the mechanical facilities to turn out as clean and attractive looking a paper as the Daily Kanis is. I look for big things from it myself, and it ought to, and I believe will, become a powerful factor in helping us closely identify the people of the state. EO. R. SCHLAFFER
EDWARD R. SCHAUFFLER.
Hurrah for the Daily Kansan! It's certainly a mighty creditable publication in every way—live, snappy, well-written, and not least, good-looking. Newspapers are much like food—the they have to be attractively served to get people to cheer up very much about them unless they're starving to death—the people not the newspapers, which are chronically in that condition. And certainly there has never been a famine of newspapers in Lawrence.

A Distinguished Visitor
to a certain Kansas town after being taken through the residence districts remarked, "This is a most beautiful city of homes." The city was Lawrence and the visitor was Colonel Theodore Roosevelt. Many others before and since have applied the same descriptive name. There are many fine homes costing from $10,000 to $50,000, while hundreds are worth from $3,000 to $10,000. Approximately 100 houses have been built within the past four years. There is always a warm welcome to the new-comer in the city of homes.

DE--TAIL POLLYWOGS
Illinois Professor Finds That the New Tails Grow in Two Weeks
Two Weeks
University of Illinois, Jan. 24. Professor Charles Zeleny, of this school is conducting experiments with tadpoles in solving the problem of the human cancer. In his work with the "pollywog," known to all boys, he has cut off the tails and found that the new tail will grow in two weeks.
The removal of the tails does not seem to hinder the growth of the tadpoles in any way and the ones which are operated on become strong and healthy frogs as quickly as the others.

KANSAS MUST PLAY REAL BASKET BALL
Kansas City Team Composed of Veteran Goal Tossers Goldman.Minton Stars
ASHLEY THE K. C. A. C. COACH
Kansas City Team Composed of Veteran Goal Tossers. Goldman and Minton Star.
Friday night, in Robinson Gymnasium, Hamilton's goalkeepers will mingle with Henry Ashley's Kansas City Athletic Club Quintette.
For the past four seasons these rivals have been meeting in two struggles for supremacy, annually. The results have been generally favorable to the university men; last year, however, each team won upon its own court.
Kansas must play real basket-ball in this game. The red and blue representatives will have to do that, and more, to win. In the Nebraska games as in the Baker contest the Kansas team showed a wooof lack of team work and at the same time a wonderful amount of individual playing ability. The fact that the Kansans were weak in team play was caused by their enforced idenness during the time that the gym was closed. Every night since the building was opened has found the team hard at work and by Friday night they should be at top form and playing championship basketball.
The Kansas team this year was handicapped at the start by a lack of veteran varsity players. But the early troubles did not lie there entirely. The men who were expected to play the strongest game at the opening of the season were the Cincinnati Brown and Greenlee have thus far excelled their older team mates.
The battle for center position is still in full swing between Hite and Boehm. The former is a little faster on court work than his rival, while Boehm is more successful on the tip off. Both men are in the first rank and will be on the varsity squad. Hite may be used at forward a part of the time.
The Blue Diamonds are without question the star basketball team of the Western Amateur Athletic Union. For many years they have held that position. The men who make up their team are veterans of the basket ball court. Henry Ashley the Coach knows basket球 from one end of the rule book to the other, and a few things that are not in print beside.
The two men who are best known here are Goldman and Minton. Goldman is a particularly dangerous man at forward, being tall and rangy, and having a disconcerting habit of shooting goals with either hand. It is a large contract for two men to care for Goldman when he is working right. Minton is an alert, nervous, guard who keeps the opposing forward in a state of considerable discomfort during the game. Other men on the blue side, including Billie, L. Smith at forward; Cradock, and P. Smith centers and Terte, Fogel, and Craid guards. Which of these men will be in the game at the first whistle will probably not be decided till the team gets on the floor.
As a curtain raiser for the K. U.
Blue Diamond game the College
teams will meet the Terrible Swedes
for its next chany, this game will be called at 7:45.
On Saturday night the Varsity will meet the Kansas Aggies out the local court.

BASKET BALL SCORES
Conference Teams Have Played Nine Games-Only Five Championship Contests.
The result of the basket-ball games played between the Missouri valley teams to the present time seems to point to Nebraska and Washington University as the probable leaders of their respective sections. Each of these universities has two assistant senators of another school in their section of the conference.
Drake appears to be hopelessly out of the running having lost to both the schools in her section. Ames lost two to Missouri and won one from Drake. Missouri lost two games to Washington. Nebraska has defeated Drake in two battles and won twice from Kansas. The Kansas-Nebraska games and the Missouri-Ames contests are not to be compared, however as the contestants were in each case in different championship divisions.
The result of the valley games played thus far are as follows:
Nebraska 42 Drake 24
Nebraka 35 Drake 14
Missouri 25 Ames 24
Missouri 18 Ames 10
Ames 23 Drake 11
Nebraska 30 Kansas 26
Nebraka 30 Kansas 27
Washington 30 Missouri 12
Washington 34 Missouri 14
Only five of the games played to date will be counted in the championship. These are the Nebraska-Drake, the Missouri-Washington, and the Ames-Drake contests.
NEBRASKA CO-EDS TO
ABANDON TRACK MEET
Girls Were Preparing for Inter-Sor-
orty Relay When Committee
Called the Race Off
Nebraska co-eds are wondering just who is the goat.
who is the chair.
The committee for the Charter Day track meet announced a few days ago that there would be an inter-sorcery relay race this year at the meet. All sorceries were urged to begin practicing at once for the great event. The sorceries took this seriously enough as a duty to their school, and several applications for the use of the Gymnasium were filed with the committee.
The committee was then forced to explain. So yesterday morning postal cards were sent to the various organizations, urging tham to select a relay race or to represent a relay race, or to have one selected for them.
Now will someone please enlighten the fair coads==> Is the joke on them or is it a teammate?

GARDNER MAY LEAD YALE
Robert Gardner, intercollegiate champion pole vaulter, is almost certain to be elected captain of the Yale track team, succeeding Clarence Childs, who recently resigned and left college to go into business in Syracuse.
Childs, who was the team's stunner, thrower, accompanied the Xaliers.
The choice for his successor will be made in a mail vote of the players who were qualified to vote last June by reason of having won points in the meets against Harvard and Princeton.
Girls Will Buy Sweaters.
At the State Agricultural College the girls have formed a club, "The Rooters," to buy sweaters for the college heroes and to help the athletes on the field by rooting. All the girls who believe that the athletes deserve some token from the students as a reward for their services have joined the club and are raising the money for the sweaters by membership fees and dues.

BAKER COMING FOR FIRST INDOOR MEET
Methodist Squad Will Oper Track Season in Gym February 6
TRYOUTS WILL GET A CHANCE
Teams Will be Allowed to Enter Unlimited Number of Contestants In Each Event
The Kansas track season will open Monday February 12. At that time the K. U. athletes will meet Coach Saherer's Methodists in the Gym.
The meet will be a sort of a try-out affair for the purpose of giving the coaches an idea of the performances of their respective teams in actual competition. The teams will enter as many men as the coach sees fit in each event in order that all the candidates for regular places on the varsity may have a chance to know what they can do.
While there are no championships to be settled by the meet, it will be watched with considerable interest as an index of the track possibilities of the red and blue this season. In previous years the Kansas team has had little difficulty in overcoming the Baker men in this meet. This year the Bakeries are boasting of a strong aggregation while the Kansans are weak in several departments. Several men of promise are now working on the sprints but as a result we have sufficient class to assure a position on the track. The long distances also offer ample opportunity for work on the part of aspiring athletes.
The only events in which Kansas actually shows strength at the present time are the quarter mile and the high jump. In the first of these events there are four good men at work. More men are needed for this event nevertheless the relay team, as well as the men who run the regular event,
must be drawn from the quarter tryouts. It may be that at least one of the men now running the 440 event will have to be drafted for the half mile.
Kansas prospects in the weights have taken a rise since the return of Bowers has been announced. The team has been a winner for Ammons in the shot and discus.

Drake Coach Says Cornhuskens will
Be Valley Basket Ball Champs
Michigan is carrying on a chess match by mail with the University of Chicago. One move is made each day.
According to Coach Griffith of Drake, Nebraska has the winning Missouri Valley Conference basket team team. "It looks like Nebraska for the championship of the valley. The score of our recent game does not indicate the fight put up by our men, but we were badly outclassed. However, the Nebraska floor was much smaller than ours and I will predict that they will win every game within it, for they know how to use every inch of space. Owen Frank and Gibson are both football players who have made good in the line of basket-tossing."

UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, FRIDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 26, 1912.
STUDENTS VOTE TO ORGANIZE SOCIETIES
Unanimous in Opinion that Literary Clubs are Good for University
"Literary societies were in a flourishing condition when I attended Yale," said he, "and they are successful to this day. Such organizations bring the students together in a manner that is not accomplished at Kansas at the present time."
CHANCELLOR ENDORSES PLAN
One or more debating societies which will hold weekly meetings to discuss live questions of politics, economics and sociology will be formally organized at the University Friday evening. This was the unanimous agreement of more than forty men who met in Snow hall last night to discuss the need of such organizations at the University.
Chancellor Strong was present and promised the students that anything which the administrative officers of the University could do to boost the movement would be given his hearty support.
"My recollections of the evenings spent at my literary society at the University of Iowa are the most pleasing and vivid recollections of my college career," said Professor Dykstra, a member of the debating council who addressed the meeting. "I think the main reason why Iowa is so successful in inter-collegiate debates, is because the debating clubs are in such a flourishing condition."
Tells of Their Influence at Yale- Professors Gesell, Price, and Others Speak.
Prof. G. A. Gessel struck a popular note when he stated that one reason he desired such societies here was so that Kansas would have a better chance to defeat Missouri in annual forensic contest with that in situation.
An explanation of the debating league which the high schools of Kansas have formed and the need for furthering this work at the University was given by Prof. R. R Price of the extension department Professor O'Leary discussed the failure of the old societies at this institution and said that hard work was all that was necessary to avoid their pit-falls.
A committee of three consisting of Ray Soper, Milton Minor, and Charles Fairchild was, appointed to ask the Chancellor for a permanent place of meeting. Next Friday evening a name for the organization will be selected, officers chosen, and other plans formulated.
In battling with the vice of today, we must look to the child, was the advice of Walter Taylor Sumner, chairman of the Chicago Vice Commission and Dean of St. Peter and Paul Cathedral, in an address in the chapel yesterday afternoon. The subject of Mr. Sumner's speech was "Some Aspects of Social and Civic Progress."
WATCH THE TWIG AND SAVE THE TREE
"Fight Evil in the Child." Says Chairman of Vice Commission
"If we can save childhood, we do away in a great part with the care of criminals," he said. "The stufy od delinquent children and adults is a great opportunity for constructive work."
The city is a unique organization and its problems are many."
"In social service we must study the character of adversity and the means for relief. The Vice Commission found that in the ward in which I live there 263 destructive agencies and only 24 constructive and protective agencies. This means that for each constructive agency there are 1,108 children and no institution can care for so great a number."
KANSAS IS INTERESTED
IN WOMAN SUFFRAGE
Reports from the Extension Department of the University show that the people over the state are taking great interest in woman suffrage. The department has sent out fourteen package libraries of books on the subject to as many Kansas towns and there are, at present, five towns on the waiting list. In every town to which the libraries have been sent the books are in constant use.
Libraries of books on the commission form of government are also in demand and the department has loaned seven libraries and still have five towns on the waiting list.
The demand for these libraries shows that the Kansas people want to be enlightened and posted on the great issues of the day.
The towns which have been supplied with the libraries on women the books in great demand by the woman, but also by the men.
PROF. HUNTER ON HOW TO PROTECT ORCHARDS
Prof. S. J. Hunter will go to Wichita next week to attend the meeting of the South-West Horticultural Society. He will deliver an address before the society Thursday on the work of the entomological survey, in the protection of orchards and forests.
The University ofChicago's athletic department has a surplus of $14,300 from the football games.
MEMORY BAD? DROP IN AND GET IT TESTED
Apparatus Installed Tha May Be of Value in These Troublous Times
A laboratory with apparatus for testing the various sense organ defects and physical characteristics of school children, has been installed in room 118 Fraser Hall by the School of Education.
The laws of attention, fatigue, memory, association, the accuracy and speed of perception, judgment, imagination and reasoning, will be demonstrated for the benefit of future Kansas school students by taking their work at the University.
The work in experimental -education will consist in training for school administration and supervision. The laboratory, which will be under the direction of Prof. A. W. Trettian, will contain oeuvres for carrying on tests of transfer of training, individual differences, laws of habit formation and breaking, size and character of vocabulary, and aesthetic discrimination.
Students in these fields of Education will be required to learn how to use educational statistics and interpret them by proper statistical methods and graphical representation in charts and diagrams.
Such problems as Retarction, Promotion, Elimination, School Report Forms, etc., will be taught experimentally by the laboratory method. The data in the laboratory gathered from Kansas schools will in the main constitute the material to be dealt with.
"Thomas Dekkar, a Study," is a very scholarly account of the career and surroundings of Thomas Dekar, an author of the seventeenth century. While scholastic in nature, the description of Dekkar's works and influence has a distinct literary flavor of Dokkar's has a distinct literary flavor which makes the book interesting to the casua reader.
A copy of a book by Mary Leland Hunt, instructor in the English department, "Thomas Dekkar, a Study," was received at the library this week. The work was presented to the University by the author. It was her Doctor's dissertation at Columbia University, and is highly praised by the English department there and is published by the Columbia University Press.

INSTRUCTOR WRITES BOOK
Organ Recital Postponed.
The organ recital which was announced to take place in Fraser hall this evening has been postponed indefinitely. This was to have been the second number of the winter course.
Organ Recital Postponed.
HELD THE DOOR--THEN DECIDED 'TWAS THE "SACK
When those of who pass most directly from bed to classroom by way of a hurried breakfast in the morning are leaving the somewhat involved portals of Fraser the nine o'clock element is arriving with their bright hair, neatly brushed clothes, and their aggravating air of always being able to take their time about getting on the hill.
Yesterday a freshman evidently from the engineering school tried to enter Fraser hall. He encountered a girl from an eight o'clock class in exit. He did the gallant act and held the door open for the lady. Another of the fair sex followed
closely, and the chivalrous freshman was unable to enter without risking an accident. Another came, still another and yet another. The little engineer had not so many girls since the last time he attended chapel two months before.
HOW TO DESTROY ROAD TO LEADERSHIP DISEASE GERMS STEEP AND ROUGH ONE
"Well, I wonder if all the girls in the University are going to leave before I can get in? " he said to himself, as two more pretty eight o'clock maidens elbowed past him. Finally he grew desperate. A man appeared. The door slammed on the luckless passenger as the long belegued knight wriggleled in to his nine o'clock class.
Slush and Dust in City But Every Student Should
Streets Cause Pneumonia and Tuberculosis.
Charles F. Helm, a special in the Engineering school, has returned to the University after a three moths' absence on account of typhoid fever.
"There is absolutely no excuse for cities polluting the water supplies of cities below them. It is both possible and practicable to construct, for a reasonable cost, an engineering plant that will purify sewerage till the water is chemically pure and as clear as spring water. At present over twenty Kansas towns have such plants in successful operation."
In discussing the disposition of waste as an economic factor Professor Hoad stated that millions of dollars worth of valuable land had been reclaimed by rubbish dumps in New York, Philadelphia, and Boston.
In an address before Dr. Hyde's Physiology Class yesterday afternoon on the subject of Sanitation and city wastes, Professor Hoad of the engineering department said, "The complex problems of city administration and sanitation must be dealt with from a scientific point of view, and requires the co-operation of college bred men and women."
Professor Hoad contends that the increasing complexities of modern life, and the crowding of a large number of people in cities gave rise to difficult moral and physical problems among the poor-r communities.
The principle methods employed in disposing of garbage recommended by Prof. Hoare are by incineration, by which the rubbish is mixed with a proportion of fuel and completely burned and by the reduction process where the garbage is placed in a large steel tank under steam pressure and cooked six or eight hours, then the grease is removed by pressure.
In discussing the subject of city wastes from the standpoint of public health he said "one of the hardest problems to deal with in city sanitation is the fine dust that blows about the streets laden with tuberculosis and other disease germs harmful to the respiratory organs," Professor Hoa explained that the only way to remove this dust was by hydraulic flushing with water and by improved methods of stent sweeping. He also recommended the removal of snow and slush from the streets of the tenement and shop districts as statistics showed that the prevalence of pneumonia fluctuated with the amount of snow and slush in the streets.
"The reduction process has not proved a success in England said the Professor "because English housewives are more economical than our American housewives, and the garbage contains no fat."
Professor Hoad also spoke to some length on the sewage problem.
But Every Student Should be a Leader, Says Rabbi Liknaitz
DAILY KANSAN STAFF
TO STUDY NEXT WEEK
The Rabbi, who is not new to the students of the University as a speaker, addressed his remarks to him with of "Preparation for Leadership."
"I believe," he continued, "that every student of a higher institution of learning, should, and is able to become a leader in his or her sphere of life. But the person who would become a leader must be a master of situations and be fully able to overcome all obstacles in the way. There must be a distinct view of the goal, and a determination never to back out. And coupled to it all must be self-denial and steady hard work. The leader must have sincerity of purpose, absolute honesty, and a desire to get right down next to the people.
The Daily Kansan will be published only two times next week, on Tuesday and Friday. The entire University will be in the throes of the term examinations and the members of the Kansan board will be so busy trying to stay eligible that they will not have time to get out the paper as usual.
Rabbi David L. Likniaz, rabbi of Temple B'nai Jeshurim, Leavenworth, Kansas, was born in Mitan, Caulsland, one of the German-Russian provinces on the Baltic Sea. His early education was acquired in a German gymnasium and in a Hebrew academy. After his arrival in this country, he graduated from the University of Pennsylvania in 1898, after which he studied in the postgraduate department of Columbus University and in the Jewish Theological Seminary of America. His first position as a rabbi was in Syracuse, New York, and since 1894 he has been in Leavenworth.
"The women of the near future will be leaders in the many different spheres of life, beyond any question," said Rabbi Davis Liknaitz, of Leavenworth in the course of his channel speech this morning.
Students will remember him as having delivered one of the best of the chapel speeches year before last.
In former years it has been the custom of the Kansan to suspend publication during quiz week but the present staff is willing to get out two issues. The rest of the week will be consumed in an attempt to get square with a number of long neglected professors.

UNIVERSITY MEN TO LEARN FOLK DANCING

New Gym Class Organized to Fill Place Vacated by the Late Lamented Thalian Club.
This is a story for men only. It is also advisable that all "studies" of the masculine gender are awkward and clumsy and ill used to the etiquette of the dance floor—it is advisable, we repeat, that they read this story carefully.
A little rumor trickled out of the gymnasium this morning which stated that Coach Hamilton—no Dr. Naismith or Instructor Root or somebody else over in the gym—was going to give a course in folk dancing next term for the men of the University.
Believing that a University should offer an all around education to its students, a course in dancing—for men only—will be started next semester. George Babb has been secured as instructor and to his careful guidance will be given over the pedal education of a large class of men who have already signified their intention of taking the course.
Robert E. Lee, it is said, was the first to sign for the course. Last year Robert created some consternation in local social circles by his terpsichorean performances at the Thalian parties, and he is entered as a post-grad. Ward Maris, W. E. Rodebush, Roland M. Athey, T. H. Utterback, Harrison McMillan, and Warren H. Jordon are among those who have "signed."
Besides the waltz and the two-step and the other University favorites, folk dancing and aethic dances will be taught. In order to get credit in the course, each member of the class will give a recital in the gym, which will be made to correspond to the graduating recital in the School of Fine Arts or the final thesis in the School of Engineering. Instructor Babb hopes to have his class in shape—this is no pun—to give an exhibition performance at the May Eote.
P. S. The course is not open to freshmen.
P. S. Kindly note that the Turkey Trot, the Grizzley Bear, and the Pensecola Mootch will not be tolerated during regular practice hours.
WHO'S WHO IN KANSAS TEACHING PROFESSION
School of Education Issues Official Directory of High School Teachers
Three thousand copies of a forty-five page bulletin issued by the School of Education will soon be sent to the school teachers and administrators of the state. The bulletin will be an official directory of all teachers in the high schools accredited by the University and will contain detailed information from these teachers regarding their degrees and certificates, instituted attended, and teaching positions. In addition to this, statistical tables and charts will be appended which represent a careful study of the present nature and sources of both the academic and professional preparation of the various teachers.
The School of Education is endeavoring to obtain a complete record of the high school teachers, and in addition to this bulletin it is collecting data for a second one which will contain many vital, but less accessible facts regarding the relation of teacher specialization to actual subjects taught, migration of teachers, the need for a differentiation of high school and elementary school certificates, state policy in regard to departmental organization, and the teachers' attitudes toward summer schools and graduate study.
So far as known, investigations of this nature have not been done in any other state as yet.

POOR RICHARD SAYS:
God helps them that help them selves.
ONE.
WHO IS REPRESENTATIVE?
In yesterday's Daily Kansan was a communication in which the question was asked whether or not our class societies are representative. This query naturally makes us ask who is the representative student and what are the tests by which he is to be known?
Is the representative student the one who has won his letters by hard service on the gridiron or in track or in other athletic activities? We think not. Because a man can knock a "home run" every time he comes to the plate, or because he can "shoot a basket" from the center of the court, or because he can drop kick a goal from the fifty yard line, these things are no reason why he is a representative student.
Is a man representative of his school who leads a monotonous life of grind and study? We should say not. He has missed a great portion of his college life.
What then, if these men are not representative, are the qualifications that go to make up the representa tive student?
Is the man representative of his school who spends all his time in an attempt to be a good fellow; who never studies but spends his time in an attempt to have a good time? We should say not.
He ought to combine elements from all the various phases of life that a University offers. The really representative student should be an athlete, a student who really studies and knows, a man who is able to meet his fellowmen and sympathize with them and see something interesting in everyone he meets. Such a student is rare. He is the ideal.
Referring to the criticism of the editorial it might be said that in no instance does any one man come up to the standard of the representative student. Sometimes mistakes are made in the selection of members. Several of the world's greatest college men, who have done more to advertise their college than a hundred others, have not been considered representative when they were in school.
The members of several of our class societies have been criticized as being "inferior" even. Maybe they are but they have been elected to membership because they possess some of the qualities that go to make up the representative student True it is that there are any number of University men who are the equals if not the superiors of any one member of any class society.
Class societies are new and any order that starts cannot hope to be perfect from the beginning. They must have an ideal toward which they strive and it takes time to attain it. The Black Helmets, the Trias, and the Sachems do not pre
tend to be perfect now but with gradual evolution they will attain a perfection that will place them beyond a great amount of criticism.
The freshmen at Leland Stanford pledged two thousand dollars in almost five minutes toward the erection of a new Union building. By the way, what has become of the movement that was so enthusiastic before the holidays to have a Union building on our own campus?
THE GYM. MADE TO BE USED.
How many times a week to you go to the gym, and take a little exercise? This isn't for you, freshman, nor for you, sophomore, but for those students who are not forced to take gymnasium work.
Do you realize that a healthy body is conducive to good study? Do you realize that if you have some good red blood coursing through your veins your efficiency for study will be increased fifty per cent?
Don't you think you ought to take a little time off and go over to the gym. and get the kinks out of your muscles and the rust off your joints?
You can find time for it if you just make up your mind that you will.
A choice bit of poetry was submitted to the Daily Kansan's "Old Friends in Verse" column by a student of the University. He says that it has brought much comfort and solace to him during his darkest hours. The verse follows:
A tramp sat in the box car door; His feet dragged on the ground.— Longfellow.
WHY MR. BACON RESIGNED
Ambassador Bacon's relinquishment of his diplomatic job to become a member of the corporation of Harvard College seems to excite some surprise in the newspapers. That is because they don't know Boston. Mr. Bacon was born and raised in Boston. Membership of the Corporation of Harvard College is Boston's blue ribbon. It is reckoned there a much higher distinction than to be Governor of Massachusetts, and ambassadorships are not in its class at all. It ranks about with the Senatorship that Charles Sumner once held, and the chiefjusticeship of the Massachusetts Supreme Court.
It is an agreeable promotion in a social way of a qualified Bostonian to become a member of the Somerset Club, but there are 500 members (we believe) of the Somerset Club, whereas the sum of the 'belows of Harvard College (excluding the president and the treasurer) is only five. So the distinction of being a fellow of Harvard College is at least one hundred times as great as that of being a member of the Somerset Club. Perhaps that will help to make it clear to our contemporaries why Mr. Bacon shed his ambassadorship like last winter's overshoes when the invitation reached him to be a fellow of Harvard College—Harper's Weekly.
The members of the Southern Illinois Editorial Association visited the University on November 18. They expressed themselves as greatly pleased with the University in general, but are quoted as saying "Illinois should provide better facilities for students in journalism, to keep up with Missouri, Wisconsin, and Kansas."—Illinois Alumni Quarterly.

3Y MR. AESOP
A COUNTRYMAN'S son by accident trod upon a Serpent's tail, which turned and bit him so that it broke. The Tamarite got his axe, and pursued the Serpent, cut off part of its tail. So the Serpent in revenge began stinging several of the farmer's cattle and caused him to eat it. The Tamarite it best to make it up with the Serpent; brought food and honey to the mouth of its lair, and said to it: "Let's forget and forgive; perhaps you were right to punish my son, and take vengeance on him, but surely I was right in trying to revenge him; now that we are both satisfied why should not we be friends again?" The Serpent; "take away your gifts; you can never kill the death of your son, nor the 'loss of my tail'."

BAD MANNERS To The Daily Kansan:
STUDENT OPINION
An editorial in the Kanan for January 23 deplored the fact that some of the students in the University of Kansas still carried with them their high-school ideas concerning the way in which an opponent should be treated while visiting the school. The editor was correct and just in every particular but could it not have gone wrong? The answer is that, whichever some of the students treat their own fellows and visiting spectators who itten't the game?
At the basket-ball games the other night some of the students who arrived early congregated in one end of the hall and as the other arrivals walked across the floor to their seats these "cu-ups" would whistle in time to the steps taken. While this in itself was not a criminal offense if you were not able lack of food breading and respect? It certainly is not pleasant feeling for even the least sensitive to walk across a broad expansion of floor and be made cohesive by having a note sounded for each step taken.
Besides making it embarrassing for the persons this treated it brings great discredit on the student body as awhole. It is certainly not a very high recommendation for the University to have visitors say that the students at the University of Kansas do not even know each other. In reality, fellow students with respect. This sort of advertising will not make a larger and better University.
The plan should be discouraged in all of its phases and the toleration by the part of the student body of such acts should be brought to a sudden and decisive end. R. H. C.
HISSING EXCUSABLE
Your editorial on the rooting at the games of last week impresses me as a little ill-timed or hasty.
To The Daily Kansan:
The hissing and unfairness that you commented upon, in my belief, did not come from a spirit of unfairness but from a wish to see dirty playing and infringement of rules stopped. The individual players of the team upon several instances were applauded when they made good plays and a spirit of friendliness was evident to observers except in the above mentioned cases.
If a few remarks that were not meant in the right spirit were heard they can be attributed to over-wrought nerves during the stress of exciting play. One who was up in the balcony where such remarks generally are forth-coming could say that there was perfect spirit there during the entire game Friday night.
The Princetonian, in reply declares the figures given by Mr. Hale are not correct, that men of all stations in life, the rich as well as the poor, form the clubs and that the thing least tolerated at the university is the snob.
If too much editorial comment is directed towards our rooting it will have an evil effect upon it. Where there is a particularly rank foul, objections of the most strenuous sort should be raised, if only to call the referee's attention. The reputation of Kansas is well enough founded to make us worried about rooting Friday night. They themselves were friendly to a degree extraordinary. This is the spirit that we should cultivate, not a rather too critical inspection of each and every follower of the game. A. FAN
Let a university but become large and flourishing and it is certain to be accused of being undemocratic. That has been the lot of Harvard, Yale and Princeton in the past; that is the lot of Princeton in the present. Greatness, it seems, is an admirable target for the average marksman to shoot at, chiefly because it is an easy tarve to hit.
SIZE AND DEMOCRACY
William Bayard Hale directs his fire against the famous club system that has prospered at Princeton for so many years. And his fire is returned. A pretty little controversy is the result. According to Mr. Hale, the situation at the university is substantially this: Three hundred and fifty students have arsenal points and fifteen bitter pointed and moning because they did not "arrive"; the other 750 are "climbers" and striving might and main to "arrive." Briefly, "arrive" is the key of the Princeton puzzle.
It might also have called attention to the fact that a college is not undemocratic simply because a few men of similar tastes and the same temperament see fit to band together into a fraternal association. Absolute equality is far from a reality in the world at large. Why should anyone expect it at a university?—Boston Transcript.
TOO LATE I STAYED
But I had scerce the CRAM thing tried when the surviving warrior died, and o'r his lifeless companion went home. QWEK, breathing flame.
Too late I stayed—forgive the crime!
Unheeded the hours:
How noiseless falls the foot of Time
That only treads on flowers!
And who, with clear account, remarks
The cbiblings of his glass,
When all its sands are diamond sparks,
That dazzle as they pass?
O, who to sober measurement
Time's happy swiftness brings,
When birds of paradise have lent
 Their plumage to his wings?

DAYS FIGHT IN VAIN
Last night I ate the pie plate round, and ergo, knew no slumbers sound. Instead a Quiz Week dream I dreamed. I trembled on my knees, it seemed, before a Monster, huge and grim, who sought to rend from limb to limb my crouching figure. And to stay his dreadful onslaught stood a Dav
This little Day, with comrades three, staved off the Monster valiantly, but as I stood and cowered, there before the Monster's fiery star, my gallant Day succumbed and died. Sing weep, we cry. The sun shines on me there sprang a brother day—and stoutly fought my doom away
COME INTO THE GARDEN, MAUD.
The Monster yet his efforts bent to seize me. Clearly his intent my ruin; still I could but gaze and trust my three remaining d Days. Aheu! As hotter grew the fight another Champion's effort to place him on the floor, a faithful comrade stepped, once more.
And still the Monster battled on more fierce! My courage nigh was gone. Two little Days What should I do? For I am lost when die the two. Then as I grovelled there and wry my hands and tore my hair, another Day gave up the ghost.
I deemed me now most surely lost. There struggled but a single day between the Monster and his prey. Wherefore, I truly desperate grew; to help myself I sought anew. I found some ill tools called "CRAM," and tried with a nasty slash to forge a weapon that would make the Monster his attuned to forake, and save me when this last time he brave Day was vaquished. Then I would afloat my deadly foe and with my weapon, lky himlow.

OLD FRIENDS IN VERSE
A plan is being worked out by the board of education in Kansas City to have every boy and girl enrolled in the grad schools in the city work in a garden next spring and summer in connection with their school work.
YOUNG CITY GARDENERS
If the right spirit and interest are taken in this plan, many tables will be supplied with fresh garden truck and flowers and the little gardeners will become better acquainted with nature. In the garden should afford as much pleasure as a game of black-man or a stroll around the streets.
A search is now being made for an expert to have charge of the work so that the proper instruction will be given.
Come into the garden, Mand,

And the woodbine spices are wafed
And the musk of the roses blown.

She is coming, my own, my sweet!
Were it ever so airthe a tread.

My heart would hear her and beat,

Would start for tremble under he feet,
and blossom in purple and red.

COMPULSORY CHAPEL FOR WISCONSIN U. MAYBE
Coach Richards Advocates Rule as Means of Giving Dignity to The University.
A compulsory chapel service has been recommended by coach Richards of Wisconsin, in a recent talk to the students.
"A chapel will get us together and afford a chance to instill a little dignity into our existence here." Said Mr Richards
AT
"It will perhaps be one place where speakers may appear and escape the 'siz-boom-ah' greeting that is so annoying to most people. It will hurt none of us if we get together and sing a hymn once in a while. A chapel hour could be secured for next year if a demand were made now. We do not want "biguns" from other parts, but our own professors and students who know our lives and trials. At chapel we can get together and talk over problems."

It is planned to sail June 29 and return by September 8. The party will visit a number of universities, agricultural experiment stations, chemical laboratories, historical schools, nurseries, forestry schools, and fertilizer factories. Many large stock farms will also be visited.
Cast Announced for "Der Bibliothekar" to Be Given in March
The trip will cost about $625 for each person.
It is a fast and furious comedy that the German Dramatic club has selected for its annual spring presentation.
At a recent tryout, the club selected the following cast for their play, "Der Bibliothekar," which will be presented at the Bowersock theater the last of March. The members of the cast with their parts are:
Marshland, a countryman gentle man—Homer Blincoe.
Edith, his daughter-Vera Wessels.
Harry Marsland, his nephew—S. S. Spreier.
MacDonald, his rich and eccentric uncle—Abe Goldman.
Lothir MacDonald, friend to Harry and posing as the Bibliothekar—Allen Wilbur.
Eva Webster, companion to Edith
-Rebecca Passon.
Sarah Gildem, governess of Marsland, an old maid and spiritualist—Mildred Manley.
Leon Armadale, a horse enthusiast
- Charles Meissner
Lucy Armadale, his sister— Erma Spangler.
Gibson, a tailor—Paul Schaeffer,
Mrs. Dionne Lothair's landlady
Robert, the real Bibliothekar—Edmund C. Bechtold.
Jane, a maid of Maisland's- Beatrice Dalton.
Knox, a policeman—Cecil Gorsuch.
Trip, a commissioner—Fred Poos The German Dramatic club has the distinction of being the first club of the soil in any university of the United States. The play that they will present is one of the largest that has ever been attempted by any dramatic organization of the University. It is full of swift action and comedy.
Trip, a commissioner—Fred Poos.
The play opens in London, but in the second act changes to the country seat of Marsland, an amiable squire who has a niece and daughter whom he calls "girls to be married." They are coquettish, although lovable, and are supposed to be kept in the path of modest propriety by a governess whose sentimental prudery is a mark for satire.
Marsland has employed Robert, the Bibliothek, as his secretary. He is exhibited as the basilth student. Harry has been invited to a hunt which Marsland is to give and is asked to bring the Bibliothek with him. Harry, however substitutes Lothair for Robert, for both these young men are forced to leave London to escape imprisonment for debt at the suit of the tailor, Gibson, an arch-snob, whom they mollify by flattery.
Lothair's uncle appears and determines to dishinherit his nephew. He finds Robert in his rooms and mistakes him for Lothair. However he agrees finally to keep the boys from arrest if they will take him to the hunt. They promise for they are in love with the girls as Marsland's.
Then follows a scene of complications. It is a genuine comedy and everyone gets into trouble until no one knows who anyone else is. Finally, of course, the real Bibliothkar reveals himself and the characters are readjusted in their proper relationship.
The members of the tryout committee for the play were: Prof. W. H. Carruth, Professor Kruse, Professor Campbell, Mrs. Newport, and Miss Jones.

OLD RIVALS MEET IN GYM TONIGHT
Blue Diamond--Kansas Gam Will Settle Leadership of Vicinity
AGGIES ON SATURDAY NIGHT
Manhattan School's New Gymnastion Puts K. S. A. C. on the Basket- Ball Map.
A real basket-ball rivalry will be settled tonight. There will be no championship at stake for the Kansas men but there will either be a large amount of satisfaction or a huge portion of something else when the game is ended.
Four practices are not many but every one of these workouts has ben well spent by the varsity and they should be quite a way past the stage of development exhibited last week.
One of the features of the game—if it is allowable to perdict features in advance—will be "Rad" Brown's struggle with his old high school team-mate Terte. oBth men are in the pink of condition and a fine bout is expected.
Aggies Play Here Saturday.
Tomorrow evening the Kansas Aggies will try their hand at the tossing game with Hamilton's Huskie.
The Aggies have never been a force in Kansas basket-ball until this year. The completion of the new gym gave the Aggies a place to work that was a real one.
The Farmers, heretofore handicapped by the large size of the Kansas court, have now one that is as large if not larger than the local floor. Last week they held the Nebraska five to a score of 25 to 24 which shows that the Manhattar lads are at least able to take care of themselves.
Nebraska's Receipts Were $21,666.76
—Kansas Game Netted $24.453.32
FOOTBALL MADE MONEY
Football is a paying proposition at Nebraska University. The Corn husker school makes almost enough from the gridiron game to support all its other athletic activities.
The total receipts of the Corn-husker season were $21,666.77. This total was the result of five games on the home field and the Kansas, Minnesota, and the Ames battles away from the champs' local haunts.
The expenses, including travelling expenses, equipment of teams, and money paid to visiting teams, were $12,698.92. This amount from the total receipts leaves the Nebraska Athletic treasury ahead $8,696.84.
Of the total amount $9,555 came in at the Nebraska-Michigan game in Lincoln. The sum derived from the sale of student tickets is not included in this amount.
The Minnesota game paid the best of the contests away from home. This game netted the Nebraskan 3,954.85. The Ames game brought the total down only paying $897.84. The Kansas-Nebraska game here donated $2,445.32 to the Cornhusk treasure.

The guests were the women in offices in Fraser hall. Place cards menu and toast booklets were prepared for each guest. A bunch of jonquils was presented to Miss Clark.
After the dinner each guest gave a toast. Miss Helen Clarke, in structurer in correspondence, acted a toastmistress.

WRESTLING NOW A CONFERENCE SPORT
Kansas Grapplers Probably Will Enter Three Meets This Spring.
The revival of wrestling under the Conference rules as one of the minor sports has caused the athletic department of the University of Kansas to issue a call for volunteers to take part in this long neglected sport. At the present time only about twelve men have answered this call but the interest among the athletes of the University is steadily growing.
Three years ago the catch-as-catch can method of wrestling was introduced into the gymnasium and several inter-class teams were formed. The interest in the sport lagged however and few turned out to take part. Year before last the attempt was again made and a meet with the Y. M. C. A. of Kansas City, Mo., was scheduled, but the representatives of the University were few in number and the meet was disastrous.
Last year two meets were held with the same organization and this time the K. U. grapplers won every match.
During the latter part of the year in the meeting of the Missouri Valley Conference the sport was put under the Conference ruling. It is now classed along with tumbling, fencing and gym class work as one of the minor sports of the University.
In all probability three meets will be held with other universities the latter part of March or the first of April. Class teams will flirt be formed and inter-class bouts held in order to get a line on the men who will form the University team. The outlook for the heavy and middle weight classes are fairly good, but the light weights are poorly represented and there is a large field for all men of this division. The most promising in the heavy weights are Hemphill, Zeigler, Butler, and Welch. Clay Roberts of the middle class is as yet undefeated in his division.
Baker, Kansas City Y. M. C. A and Nebraska University have a ready asked for tournaments.
BASKET-BALL STANDINGS

FOUR CONFERENCE
OFFICIALS DROPPED
Three of the Men Have Officiated in Kansas Contests
Contests.
The same old question that has been troubling the Missouri Valley Conference for several years bobbed up again at the last meeting of the faculty representatives.
Several schools in the valley have complained in the past because of the fact that too many of the accredited officials were Kansas City men. It was also objected that the price asked by officials 'in general' for their work, was too steep.
The result of the continuous quarrelling over the matter was a recommendation that Isadore Anderson, J. C. Grover, B. L. McCreary, and C. E. McBride be left off the list of valley officials in the future. The motion was adopted unanimously.
Three of the men who were dropped have officiated in various games in which Kansas took part at different times. Izzy Anderson, the old Missouri star, worked in the Kansas-Drake and in the Kansas-Washburn contests this year. McBride was one of the officials chosen for the Kansas-Nebraskus game, but could not serve because of another engagement. Glover has worked in several K. U. games the past two years.
The Conference also drew up a list of colleges that were to be considered as athletically in the rank with Conference schools and ruled that competition with these schools would be allowed only when the Conference rules were completely compiled with.
Arkansas—University of Arkansas.
The list is as follows:
Colorado—University of Colorado Iowa—Cornell, Drake, Iowa College (Grinnell), State University of Iowa, Iowa State College.
Kansas—Baker, State Agricultural, State Normal, University of Kansas, Washburn.
Michigan—University of Michigan.
Missouri- University of Missouri, Washington University.

Texas—University of Texas.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE DEBATERS WEAR LETTER
Student Council Petitioned Faculty to Withdraw Privilege of Emblem From all but Athletes.
Considerable trouble has been caused at the Agricultural College by the recent appearance of debaters and star orators in "K" sweaters. The men who have won their letters in athletics have objected very stronely to this use of the honor emblem and have the support of the majority of the students in their position.
The particular fault that the Aggies find in the latest departure in awarding letters is the fact that the emblems awarded the speech artists have a very close resemblance to the K. awarded the star ball tossers.
The Students Council has passed a resolution condemning the new custom and has presented it to the faculty. Long petitions from the students at large are also being presented.
A Football Hero, a scenario by Glen Charlleton. See the big football game in this photoplay. Billy Gordon and George Manning are classmates at Lexington University. George is a quarterback on the college eleven, while Billy is a substitute. Both boys are in love with Gladys Mayhew, a student. Gladys' sorority is to give a dance and both boys are invited. George finds the invitations and destroying Billy's, shows the invitation to the coach but promises faithfully not to go, as it is the eve of the big game. However, he breaks his promise, goes to the dance and returns in the wee small hours. The next day he is worn out and during the game, like the coward he is, lays down. Billy is put in his place. The score stands 0-0 with three minutes to play. Billy catches Glady's eye and knows he must win. A drop kick from Billy makes the necessary score and the sub-quarterback is hailed the hero of the day. See the above motion picture at the Aurora tonight

Indications from Correspondence Point to Increase in Registration.
UNIVERSITY OF KANSAS, TUESDAY AFTERNOON, JANUARY 30, 1912.
TWO WEST POINTERS HERE
Already Enrolled For Special Work
—Foster Expects Usual Number of "Floppers."
Mail coming to the registrar's office for the past few days indicates that the registration of new students for the spring term will reach the one hundred and fifty mark. This is above the normal figures for this time of year.
Several students have already arrived and enrolled for the next term's work. They are passing the spare time hunting rooms, visiting classes and holding up the social end of the game.
Two West Pointers, Dykes and Griesa, have enrolled for the semester's work and are already at the University. Both of these men will return to West Point in June and again take up their work there. Dykes is here on a sick leave and will take a special course of mathematics.
"We are expecting the usual number of 'flopppers' this year," said Registrar Foster this morning. "They are the ones that change from one school of the University to another. We can give no definite statement as to the number at this time as these students are not allowed to change schools until the final examination are over."
DR. STRONG IN CHICAGO
Gave Talk Before the Chicago K. U. Club Last Night.
Chancellor Strong went to Chicago yesterday and delivered an address before the annual banquet of the Kansas University club of Chicago last night. The subject of his talk was, "The University—its Scope and Purpose." The Chancellor took with him several copies of the back numbers of the University Kansan which he will use to help recall old memories to the members of the club.
GARNETT WODEATE
IN THREE-CORNED FIGHT
Olathe, Jan. 30.—In a triangular debate held here Friday between Olathe, Paola and Garnett high schools, Garnett won, defeating by narrow margins her two competitions. The Olathe team that defended Paola High here, was composed of three girls.
James McKay of Olathe, who debated at Garnett received the highest individual honors in the contests, a grade of 98. District Judge Smart of Ottawa was one of the Garnett judges. The question debated was the acceptance of the single tax by the state of Kansas.
PERRY HIGHS DEFEATS
NORTONVILLE DEBATERS

TELLING CIVIC CLUBS WHAT TO TALK ABOUT
Extension Department Distributing Line of Subjects for Discussion.
The plan for Neighborhood Civic clubs now being extended throughout the state by the Division of University Extension has proved attractive to almost all classes of people and the University receives requests every day for suggestions as to making up a season's program.
The meetings are held in the school-houses—the people's clubhouses—and it is recommended that the programs take the form of debates followed by informal discussions in which citizens generally may join. To supplement material found in the local libraries, the Extension Division offers to send to those interested in studying any topic its package libraries made up of magazine extracts and clippings on the questions for discussion.
To meet this demand the Extension Division has prepared a discussion of "What to talk about, and do," that points out many interesting fields of work for the neighborhood clubs. This list is to be amplified by questions relating to the town's distinctly local problems.
Some of the topics suggested are:
Greatest need of the town or community;
The greatest need of the schools; "Know your town" Night or week; A social survey of the town; Rest rooms for country traders; Evening recreation centers; Clean streets, alleys and yards; Community water supply.
Woman suffrage; The recall; Income tax; The trusts; The tariff; The social unrest; Old age pensions; Civic corruption; The single tax; Profit sharing plans; Commission government for cities; The state inheritance tax; Central bank and currency reform; Divorce and marriage; Postal savings banks; Poverty and pauperism; State insurance against industrial accidents; Housing public sanitation; Parks and playgrounds; Bill board nuisance; Garbage disposal; School gardens; Sewage disposal; Town library and museum; The short ballot; Restriction of immigration; Good read movement; Conservation; The percol post; High cost of living; Workingman's compensation acts.

QUERY: HOW QUICK CAN YOU SAY "SCAT?"
CHRONOSCOPE WILL TELL YOU
FAMILIAR CAMPUS FIGURE IS ILL WITH PNEUMONIA
You bought your Post last week by the mail box at the corner of the campus, but didn't you miss the rosy cheeked little fellow whose big brown eyes, half humorous, had charmed a nickel out of your pocket every week since you have been or the Hill?
The Quickness of Thought Is Measure by a Machine in Students' Experiments.
The freshmen wondered what had become of the subject of so many of their themes and everybody seemed to notice the absence of the cheerful refrain "Saturday E-ee-evving Post" that has made the campus ring every Thursday morning for the past eight years.
The new boy did not have the assurance and self-confidence that eight years at his post had brought to Ralph Ulm, the regular agent
It seems to be generally understood that there is no word that can be said quicker than "scat." But just how long it takes to pronounce this monosyllable after the cat's first vocalizations break upon your sleepy car is a question for modern experimental psychology.
One of the students made record time today using the word "bottle." In just seven hundredths of a second the little indicate dial stopped. The associated word, ink, time .07" was the entry that was made in the notebook.
The word you speak is dependent upon one's past experience. Some words are naturally associated with others and consequently the time taken to speak a word varies from hundreds to eight tenths of a second.
The clock was started to whirring again. "Psychology!" shouted the operator. "Flunk," yelled the subject. And it took him but eleven hundredths of a second to connect the two words.
Real hard associations, like the capitals of the different foreign countries, usually take from a half second to half an hour, according to the student's knowledge of geography. Of course, if there is an atlas near, it rarely takes half an hour. One young man twisted his face into all sorts of grimases trying to say "Rome." Time: ten seconds.
If you were intent upon speaking just any word upon hearing it, how long would it take you to say it and what would you say? If you were a student in the psychological laboratory you could determine all that. The chronoscope, an instrument which measures the lengths of a second, tells the time exactly.
George M. Brown, a senior engineer, is spending ten days in Pittsburgh, Kans., carrying on tests with washed and unwashed soils to determine the heat efficiency of each. These experiments will comprise Brown's senior thesis. All of his expenses are paid by the company.

DRAKE PRESIDENT GIVES
HIS HOME FOR HIS SCHOOL
As two thousand students pass him four times each day, it follows that he did a fairly good business indeed, his sales rarely fell below the four hundred mark, and it was a poor week that he did not clear seven or eight dollars, for his three days' work. In addition to this, Rapin has received several prizes in the Post's sales competitions. Last May he fell short but by a few copies of winning a pony and仁 ni offered for the boy making the most sales in a city of twenty thousand population, during the month.
HEROIC STUDES FIGHT A NEAR-FIRE IN CLOAK ROOM
They were standing in the eloak room of the library, three shivering youths, trying to invent artistic objurgatory expressions whose application might relieve their chilled feelings.
"This is a hot place, now isn't it? one of them inquired sarcastically laying his hand upon a refrigerator radiator. No reply. The other two were still trying to get thawed out under their number fourteen arrow notches, and their frosty larynx hindered speech.
One hung up his overcoat, stiffly, and joined the others at the cold, cold pipes. They were still caressing the comfortless heater when they simultaneously spied a little wreath of smoke that arose from one of the overcoat pockets.
valiantly fought the flames with stocking caps, frosty fingers and other strange emergency fire fighting apparatus, braving the terrors of singed eyebrows and scorched hands in defending the threatened garment.
The owner of the coat at once thought of a place, "Fresno—where the climate is reputed to be far warmer than ours, in January, and he mentioned its name. The three then descended upon the coat and
A crowd soon gathered in the doorway.
"Put your foot on it." "Blow it out." "Get the fire hose," were some of the suggestions offered to the battling firemen.
Probably the owner of the damaged overcoat will be able to collect insurance on it, but it is far more probable that he will be more careful in the future about carrying matches that can be ignited by the mere presence of cold radiators.
NEW DATE FORBANQUET SENORITAS? SI, SENOR
The flames spread. They threatened a quiz book in a near-by pocket. The onlookers held their breath in horror. Someone in desperation let drive with a large notebook. Number six filler flew, but the pocket was flattened out against the wall and—the fire was extinguished.
Engineers Decide to Cavort February 17 Instead of Unlucky Thirteenth.
"We hops" to make this year's banquet the largest that we have ever had." said President Rhodes this morning, with an enthusiastic way tend to decrease the attendance".
It has been found necessary to change the date for the Engineers' Banquet from February 13 to Saturday, February 17. This change has been made by Presidion Rhodus because it was found that the out of town speakers would be better able to attend on Saturday than on Tuesday. Moreover, the original date, coming as it did on a school night, would not allow the committees sufficient time to complete their arrangements and would also interfere too much with the regular work.
MANKIND 20,000 YEARS OLD
An Arrowhead, Part of Human Weapon Imbedded in Bison
Send the Daily Kansan home.
In the south roof of the third floor in the museum, there is the skeleton of what is known among scientists as a bison occidentalis. This creature is supposed to have lived at least twenty thousand years ago. When its remains were unearthed a curious thing was discovered. An arrow-head was found underneath the bone known as the right scapula. So firmly embedded it was in the bone and of so peculiar a make was this bit of stone, that it is considered, part of a weapon of human design.
And Caballeros, Too, at the Spanish Play. Muy
WHISTLERS CALLED IN NEW IDEA IN GRADING
The modern language department have decided to give the members of Spanish classes an opportunity to appear upon the stage in a real Spanish play, in the place of the usual French play. No more will the sharp pointed mustachios and goatee pierce the air above the stage. Even the razor of The Barber of Seville, nicked and rough, has been laid aside, and in their places come torcadores, caballeros, and senoritas.
The members of the department have not decided what play will be given or the date. Previous to this year, the Spanish play has been used merely as a "curtain raiser" for the annual French play.
Famous Paintings Seen Last Time in Public at the University.
The famous Whistler paintings will not be exhibited any more. Next week will be the last and only chance to see them in this part of the country. Mr. Freer will remove them from further exhibits because of the danger of carcass packing.
Prof. W. A. Griffith, who has secured the famous canvases for the University exhibition, received letters from Museums in Kansas City and New Orleans, and form Nebraska University, last week, asking that the pictures be sent there for exhibition. Professor Griffith referred the matter to Mr. J. W. Freer, of Detroit, the owner of the Whistler canvases, and by the way, Mr. Freer owns more "Whistlers" than any one person in the world. In his answer to the request, Mr. Freer states that many of his pictures have been poorly repacked by those to whom he has lent them, so in order to avoid having them damaged, he will send them to no other exhibits after the one at the University of Kansas and one at Washington next spring.
"I am heartily in favor," said Mr. Foster today, "of having the faculty adopt a regulation not to send out grades to a student unless he fails. Then he should receive a notice of his failure."
Geo. O. Foster Believes Students Would Be Happier Without Grades.
Mr. Foster thinks that every student should know his own worth as well as his teacher does.
"If no grades were given," said Mr. Foster, "there would no longer be such a keen desire among the students for one's." This would do away with two things, cramming for quizzes and dishonesty in class. It would add a great deal of interest to the Phi Beta Kappa election, and make of it a real reward."
No grades can be given out until they have been transcribed from the lists sent in by the teachers. Mr. Geo, O. Foster suggests that each student leave at the Registrar's office soon as the grades are received, these postals will be mailed to the student.
$1,500 GIFT FROM SWEDEN
TO BIOLOGICAL LIBRARY
A twenty volume set of books worth probably $1,500 has just been presented to the biological library of the University by their author Gustav Retzius, Professor of History at the Royal Institute in Stockholm, Sweden. The books are printed in German and each volume contains many lithographed plates depicting the various structures and organs of the body. Their author has written many articles for scientific papers and journals, and is well known in the world of scientists.
Professor McClung wrote to Retzius some time ago requesting that they exchange scientific bulletins. This eventually led to the excellent gift which has just arrived.
CAMPUS IN TENTACLES OF DREAD HIPPOGRIFF
Scene of Much Scurrying and Worrying and Incidental Cramming.
JBRARY COMES INTO ITS OWN
Ponderous Tomes Bounced Off Dusty Shelves in Mad Scramble For Ammunition.
Examinations, dreadful hippocrifts of undergraduates are abroad his week, and the University of Kansas campus is a scene of worrying and scurring and no little cramming in the interim. Whole volumes are masticated if not digested; penderous tomes are bounced off hospitalable shelves, and the text-book of Dr. Philologus feels the clammy steel as a paper knife is plunged through its uncut pages.
Every throbbing brain-cell expostulates as it unwillingly stretches its walls to make transient room for another disconnected atom of know edge, which like the literary Arab folds its tent to steal away on the morrow.
But not all these atoms will vacate. Some will remain to remind the student in after days of the first semester, 1911-12. "You can't pour molasses out of a hogshead without some of it sticking to the sides," said a University president once, and this seems to be the principal emolument accruing from the cramming season.
As a means for systematic review examination time affords excellent opportunity, but in too many cases the review deteriorates into a twelve hour contest with memory. The student with memory trained to the minute, ladles out detached principles, coned by note to the professor's order, and often times in such a way that the examiner is placed on the defensive in ferreting out ambiguities.
Examinations are the hob-beginners of childhood's days, tragedies sometimes, but always annoyances to youth, and are the same yesterday, today and tomorrow. The ominous, portentous, almost foreboding atmosphere envelopes the classroom, the ease-taking professor, sometimes smug, always somehow carrying a certain air of over-lordship, the fidgety young woman who wrestles with a "discuss in full" while red spots in her cheeks grow brighter and brighter, the srowling athlete, the far-a-way twirling of a pencil in the hand of a happy-go-lucky—all are there.
And forty years from now when present undergraduates are unable to conjure up the proppitious quiz, others, with bowed backs, in Fraser, in Snow, in a dozen strange buildings, will be making faces at belligerent though innanimate quiz-books. Selah.

A BLANKET TAX.
Why should not Kansas have a similar provision? Under the present condition the manager of athletics is unable to have any fixed fund upon which he can depend for financial support for the year. The schools that have tried the athletic tax have found it extremely practical and although the students have the right to appeal from the actions of the authorities in case they do not care to pay the tax, those who have refused could be numbered on the fingers of one hand.
The University is progressive. A blanket tax for athletics is in direct line with the ideal of efficiency toward which this institution is striving. We need it, and it is practical and why shouldn't we have it?
It is now in order to get your new semester reads ready.
THE POINT OF VIEW
In the Daily Kansan of last Friday were two communications sent in by two students of the University. Both of the communications referred to a recent editorial in the Daily Kansan in which hissing and jeering at basket-ball games were deplored, but the diverse attitude of the writers made their comments most interesting. One of the contributors agreed that the editorial was proper but suggested that the actions of the student body deserved a more severe "calling down" than they had received. The other writer criticized the editorial as being ill-timed and stated that the Daily Kansan ought not cultivate a "critical inspection of each and every follower of the game."
It is not our purpose to comment on the propriety of the editorial. Those who attended the games on last Friday and Saturday nights will say that the courteous and respectful actions of the student body were much more pleasing than the tendency of rudeness that was displayed at several of the former games.
But the interesting feature of these communications is that they portray a phase of human nature that is the most common of any at the University—that is the difference of the point of view. On every given problem that affects any educational institution one will find almost as many different attitudes as there are members of the student body. No two students look at these
problems in the same way. It is human nature to differ.
The student who agreed with the editorial was no doubt one who escorted his lady across the slippery expanse of gym. floor to the merry whistle and tattoo of the gallery gods who were perched around the roof. Of course he objected.
The other student was, no doubt, one of the fellows who was hanging his feet over the rafters above. Either that, or he was an ardent fan who sat in the front row in the gallery with his chin hooked over the railing and his eyes searching for some one whom he could "fuss." Of course he thought the editorial was ill-timed and the Daily Kansan was too critical.
You see, it's all in the way you look at it. Perhaps this difference of opinion is for the best. No doubt it is. With a little friendly conflict of views, now and then, we get a student body that has an individuality and a personality that will not rub off. We get a whole-souled group of men who think about University problems, and that spells progress.

--this language because it is required—because they can not get what they want without doing so. The number of free and interlinear translations sold is evidence of that fact, and of the more important fact that much of the boasted value of the study is, in a multitude of cases, an imaginary quantity.
STUDENT ENTERPRISE TICKETS
The use of Student Enterprise tickets by non-owners is a problem that demands immediate and decisive action for its solution. It is a very easy-custom to fall into, this allowing of indiscriminate use of one ticket by several persons just as the owner feels disposed. Perhaps some do not know that this way of using tickets is against the rules of the Athletic Association. Perhaps some owners know it who have not thought of it in their desire to obliquing to friends. Most owners do know of the ruling, but think of it as no longer enforced and not to be taken seriously.
On sober second thought, all must surely agree that the ruling is right and that the Association should be upheld in its insistence upon obedience to it. The Student Enterprise Association is an organization formed to make possible greater efficiency through the unity of student activities, and the ticket that it issues for the many student events of the year should be considered a special concession to the students that buy.
It is therefore not fair for the owners of such tickets to allow non-owners to use them and thus prevent the Association from realizing extra money from non-holders of tickets, especially when such extra money is relied upon by the Association in calculating its finances. If students insist on this freedom of their tickets, then the price of the tickets will have to be raised to cover the amount otherwise obtainable through extra admissions.
A device to resuscitate drowned persons has been invented, by a University professor, but the Ottawa Herald is pessimistic: "A K. U. professor has invented a machine for the purpose of resuscitating drowned persons. It works, even to the extent of starting respiration after the heart has ceased breathing for a full minute. But the principal trouble with the machine will be that it will be like Sheridan—twenty miles away when wanted."

IN CASE OF FIRE, WHAT? Do the Daily Kansas:
In ginning over the dances nor the past few days my attention has been called to the numerous fires that have made a decided headway owing to delays in attacking them and in low pressure, and frozen hydrants. It means only natural that every institution should be made at this time to prevent fires from spreading here at the University. In all the years that I have attended I have never known of a single instance that the hydrants have been tested and found in working order, a sufficient pressure always maintained, and the appointment of a volunteer fire brigade, nor have I ever seen or heard of a fire drill at the University. In the Public Schools of the large cities, fire drills are held frequently. The same should be applied to our University for the protection of life as well as of property. Provision should also be made for an alarm, notifying each class in all departments of fire. The present fire signal of the University is short blasts from the power plant whistle, which is a very primitive method, owing to the fact that when the wind is blowing from a certain direction the whistle can not be heard. I also know of a good many students that do not know the fire signal. A condition as grave as this should be given immediate attention.
THE LATIN QUESTION.
Lucas, Kansas, January 25
Lueas, Kansas, January 25. Daily Kansan:
A. B. C.'12
Kaily Kasanai
The Danish College of January 18 briefly presents both sides of the old controversy as to the value of the study of Latin. Disputants seem to regard this question as having but two sides—much Latin study or none at all while to many it would seem safer and to swerer to between Scylla and Charybids, their view being based on the belief that in some cases the maximum requirement in Latin proves highly beneficial in but others less helpful than certain other studies, while the omission of all Latin would leave the student's mental equipment incomplete.
The opponents of Latin charge that it is not practical, that is, not utilitarian. Its advocates retort, “neither is Shakespeare, except to would-be actors.” Both sides seem to forget that anything is utilitarian that becomes apart of our acting, thinking self and makes us wiser and better, even though not actually needed in our daily vocation. The adult, however, proficient in his specialty, whose mind is not well disciplined and informed along various other lines, is narrow and seriously handicapped in the “pursuit of happiness” which has been called one of man’s inalienable rights. Any mental training that助我 one to acquire dollars is called practical, as if money were the chief aim of life; but studies that enlighten and broaden, that bring satisfaction and enjoyment to the soul, that cultivate human sympathy and interest tend to advance industrial commercial and social progress—that increase the happiness of individuals and promote the general welfare—are in reality the most utilitarian factors of civilization.
But we should remember that there are very many other excellent studies, and that too much of one thing and not enough (or none) of others should be carefully guarded against. There is at least one special reason why the teacher of classes insists upon the greatest possible amount of linguistic study; his specialty occupies his attention so fully that the comparative value of other studies does not get thoroughly into his consciousness. He may really require that students should take Latin six or eight years, and perdue them should if they take other studies in proportion. "All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy," and by the same token too much Latin may be worse than too little.
The fact that such authors as Horace are sometimes intered with the honors of war by classes that are have just finished mourning their existence is no evidence that they did not afford excellent mental discipline, provided the classes were composed of foot-soldiers rather than horsemen. As aid in etymology Latin has no superior. It also is of great value in enabling us to grasp English and its grammar as we should, and in developing ability to interpret the thoughts of others and to appreciate shades of meaning. In this way English can be taught which would interpret the statutes and decisions. The translation of Latin into good English is a constant exercise in composition that can not fail to increase accuracy in both thought and expression, a "consummation devoutly to be wished," and an end that must be considered practical.
That more students study Latin now than formerly proves nothing as to the value of the study or as to the fondness of pupils for it. A great many study

The University Daily Kansan entered upon its career as a daily newspaper at Lawrence on Tuesday, the 16th, and its first few appearances have been very creditable. If the Kansan matches up to its initial numbers, it will pass and then some.
—NEODESHA REGISTER.
The University Daily Kansan came out with its first issue as a daily January 16. It is a well printed paper of 4 pages of six columns, carrying a large amount of student news and feature stories. Lawrence merchants are liberal advertisers in the daily. The policy of the paper is under the control of Louis LaCoss. It is attrictly a student paper, and not under the domination of the faculty of the class in journalism. Every student at the University is at liberty to try out for a place as reporter for the paper. High school news notes will be a feature of the Kansan.
The students of the University of Kansas at Lawrence have started a daily paper, the University Daily Kansan. It is neat and newsy.

The students of the University of Kansas have decided to issue a daily paper and the first paper was printed Tuesday afternoon, January 16. In the opening announcement the students announce that they do not want Kansas outdone by Missouri or Nebraska, and as these states have started a student daily the K. U. students started what they expect to make a better ope. This school of journalism,
by the way, is one of the best features of the University. The Daily Kansan, however, is not published by the school but by the students of the University. The paper is printed in the office of the school of journalism, but the students announce that they will pay for the printing and that the Daily Kansan will continue to be a student paper. We believe they can make it go, and we hope they can make money at it.

A Farmer
who lives a few miles east of Lawrence has owned and worked his farm for forty-five years and reports but two crop failures in that time--one from grasshoppers and one from infundation. Douglas county is situated in the richest farming region in the state. The farms are fertile, well stocked, and well improved, and produce fine crops of wheat, corn, potatoes, fruit and garden stuff. Allied to these are large dairy interests, blooded cattle, horses, hogs, sheep, and poultry. An investment in Douglas county is gilt edged.

MUSEUM EXHIBITING BIRDS OF THE SEASON
Feathered Denizens Wintering in Lawrence Are Placed on Display.
"Birds of the Season," is the label on a new case of birds that has been assembled on the second floor of the museum. It contains mounted specimens of twenty varieties of birds that are wintering in the vicinity of Lawrence. Some of them are the birds we have always associated with blue skies and gentle breezes, but C. D. Bunker, the curator of birds, says that all of them may be seen by the careful observer in sheltered places on the campus, such as in North Hollow. He even goes farther, and says that there are several more, but as he has not seen them himself, or had them reported to him, they have not been placed in the case.
Mr. Bunker has arranged to receive reports through the Daily Kansan of any new birds noticed as not represented in the collection, so that he may keep its personnel up to date. The birds will be changed every two weeks.
Following are the "Birds of the Season."
Great horned owl, downy woodpecker, purple finch, crow, short-eared owl, scheech owl, slate-colored junco, sharp-shinned hawk, tree sparrow, blue-jay, chickadee, bluebird, white-breasted nutcatch, pine sisik, lapland longspur, English Sparrow, Mexican crossbill, cardinal.

A new system of ventilation will soon be installed in the medical dissecting room, in the basement of the Museum. Plans are already completed and materials obtained. The new system of getting good air into and bad air out of a room, is somewhat unique at this University.
Pure air will be taken through a large box coil and be distributed throughout the room. The impure air will be drawn from the room by a large automatic fan, connected with a series of intake pipes. This will create a constant current of pure air in the dissecting room.

Little-Known Facts About University Professors in "Who's Who."
Did you know that there are twenty-one university professors whose names appear in the last volume of "Who's Who in America," which has just been received at the University; that not one of these is a woman; that Prof. Edgar Henry Summerfield Bailey was an instructor at Yale before coming here in 1883; that Prof.JohnElfOlofBawson was born in Pietjetter, Smaland, Sweden, forty-two years ago; and that Professor Wilcox coined in 1889 a sister of Dean Marvin, who has taught at the University since 1875, except for one year when he was principal of the Lawrence high school.
Professor Dyche, according to the book, "has made twenty- three scientific expeditions, and hunted all over North America, from Mexico to Alaska including Greenland and the Arctic region. He is known for his broad variety of Kansas one of the largest and finest collections of large North American mammals in the world."
Chancellor Strong was born in Venice, not Italy, but New York, 52 years ago; and was president of the University of Oregon before coming here. Professor Todd, naturalist, served in the Civil War, when only two Professors were available, who was an Irish, and belongs to a half dozen honorary societies.
Professor Ephraim Miller, Emeritus professor of Mathematics and Prof. Norman Duncan, formerly of the department of English, and a brother of Robert Kennedy Duncan, who is also mentioned, are two persons whose address is down as Lawrence and who are not here now.
The other professors with their occupation given are:
F. W. Blackmar, University Dean; W. H. Carruth, university professor; Erasmus Haworth, geologist;
F. H. university professor;
E. M. Hopkins, university professor
Carl Preeyer, musician, composer;
W. C. Stevens, botanist;
S.L. Whitcomb, university professor
L. E. Savre, university dean;
F. H. university professor;
CLASS IN SPELLING PLEASE STAND UP
Other Lawrence men who are mentioned are: Justin Dewitt Bowersock, ex-congressman; Burt Bunting Watts, ex-congressman; and Governor W. R. Stubbs,
All this and more too was gleaned from a perusal of the volume, a large red book. One might do worse than pursue, say, a two-hour course in Meditations *Pedagogues* and their Professional Pedigrees" at Kansas University.

“Are we Americans really poor spellers, and if so, why?”
This question was recently asked Professor Beall, head of the English department of the State Agricultural College, at Manhattan.
The Professor had always had the theory that the users of English could not spell words of ordinary difficulty with any degree of accuracy. But it was only a theory and after being asked the above question he resolved to find out for certain. To obtain reliable data he compiled a test-list of one hundred words, which was given to nearly one thousand pupils and teachers of all grades, with results that are most interesting. Detailed cata was taken on the mistakes made by 112 high school and college students.
The appended list shows the most deadly of these common words. The only word not missed was measure, and it was missed by several not con- taining taking these data. The word victim was missed by 92 of the 112 students.
Try this list on your friends:
Figures following words indicate number of times missed.

Just Common Words
The list was based on the working vocabulary of the common school graduate. It contained no word not found in the fifth reader in use in the public schools of Kansas. Furthermore, it contained no word that an author might have outside of the schoolroom. The following table speaks for itself:

FIRST CONTEST ON A FOREIGN COURT
Basket Ball Team to Meet K C.A.C.in Kansas City Thursday.
GAME IN CONVENTION HALI
The Kansas basket-ball team will meet the Kansas City Athletic Club quintette in the first out of town game of the season, Thursday night. The game will be played in Convention Hall, Kansas City.
Ashley's Blue Diamonds Expect to Avenge the Terrible Beating Given them in Former Contest
Previous to this time all meetings of the two teams in Kansas City have been in the Athletic Club's Gymnasium. In the past two years, the crowd that turned out to witness the games has been so large that the movements of the players have been seriously hampered. For this reason the management decided this year to play the game in the big hall.
The original schedule had set the game for February 2, Friday, but as the use of the hall could not be obtained for that night, Manager Campbell of the Blue Diamonds and Coach Hamilton then agreed to arrange for the game a day earlier.
The score of the Kansas-Blue Diamond game here does not indicate that the Hamilton men will have to extend themselves, to win Thursday night. In this game, however, the club team will have all the advantages that favor them, including that teams last met and will without doubt put up a more determined struggle.
Henry Ashley, Coach of the Blue Diamonds, says that his men were at considerable disadvantage here, because of the glass backstops used on the local court. He claims that the men of the visiting team were unable to judge their shots for the goal with anything but standard vision. The size of the local court was also an advantage for the home team players as that in the K. C. A. c gym is much smaller; the K. C. athletes were soon tired by the long sprints, and after the
first few minutes of play were unable to keep pace with the Kansas men.
When the team meets on the Convention Hall Court all these differences will be in favor to the Kansas team and not to the improvement in team playing that this week has given them, is expected to win over the Kansas representatives.

Nebraska defeated Kansas 30 to 26. The game was played in 15 minute halftime, but lasted for an hour and a half. Reports state that Coach Steimhoff disagreed with the referee frequently and interrupted the contest. He attempted that trick here, but he promised to prop him where "to head in." A few days later Ernest Quigley could earn a nice living in this part of the country.
STUDENTS' HERALD.
AGRICULTURAL COLLEGE GETS A $20,000 GIFT Will be Used for Woman's Building or a Modern Restaurant
K. S. A. C., Jan. 26—Twenty thousand dollars has come to the agricultural college from the most unexpected source. Prescinct Waters was忭ished yesterday by the Old Colony Trust Company, of Boston, that this amount had been willing the college by Mrs. Mehitable C. C. Wilson. The money is to be for a building to the regents, to be known as the direction of the regents, to be known as Wilson Hall. Or it may be added to the downtown fund of the college, as the regents may desire. It is more than likely that a dormitory for girls will be suggested by the regents, although the will makes it possible to use the money for any building called Wilson Hall. It might, for instance, be used for a thoroughly modern restaurant, which is already being planned for student use.
Mrs. Wilson died only recently. She was the widow of Davies Wilson, a large owner of the original site of the mansion that family lived in this city many years ago.

TEAMWORK TURNS THE TRICK
Kansas City Athletes Had Difficult In Finding Wind When It Was Most Needed
Kansas' team work and accuracy in basket shooting enabled the red and blue basket-ball men to win two victories last week. The Kansas City Athletic Club was defeated by a score of 43 to 15 on Friday night. The following evening the Kansas Aggies fell before Hamilton's machine to the rune of 37 to 24.
Both games showed that the Kansas team had been at work since the Nebraska games. The teamwork, the passing, and the goal shooting of the local men showed vast improvement over their performances of the previous week. The men also showed better in the evident repression of their desire for individual glory and pulled together for a Kansas victory.
The game Friday night was not a startler. As soon as the Blue Diamond men had travelled the length of the court a couple of times they were at the mercy of Hamilton's men. New men were sent in at the beginning of the second half but their breath was just as irregular as that of their predecessors had been at the end of five minutes play.
The only part of the game that lived up to advance noticees was the beautiful scrap between Brown and Terte. The old team mates fought it in great style. Neither made a goal from the field, and each did his best to keep his childhood's companion in a state of what we may call nervous excitement.

In the game Saturday night Kansas outplayed the Aggies from the jump. The Aggie team was a pretty husky appearing collection of athletes but were unable to keep the Kansas men away from the baskets. The defense of the Farmers was better than that of the Kansas City team that appeared the night before but to overcome this the Kansas men put up a better article of team work. Hite proved himself to be the best floor man on the team continually working the ball to the Kansas forwards who shot goals with more accuracy than in any previous game, Greenless showed well at guard for the K. U. men. For the visitors McCallum did the best work.

KANSAS COLLEGES TO
THROW THE JAVELIN
New Event Will Be Given a Trial In Place of the Abandoned Hammer Throw
The Conference of Kansas Colleges followed the lead of the Missouri Valley schools in abandoning the hammer throw as an event in outdoor track meets. The smaller schools were not satisfied to let the matter rest there, however, but began a hunt for something to take the place of the abandoned weight event.
Throwing the javelin has for many years past been an event in Athletic Association contests and ranks with the other weight events in the Olympic games. The Javelin is four feet four inches long and weighs less than a pound. One end is brass-tipped and pointed. It is necessary to have the javelin standing in the ground in order to make a fair throw.

Kansas Men Planning High Jinx at Fourth Annual
Meeting
Tula, Okla., Jan. 30—(Special to the Daily Kansan) This city will entertain the fourth annual meeting of the Oklahoma alumni of the University of Kansas, February 22. This is the announcement of Secretary J. W. Woodford.
It is expected that over one hundred graduates and former students who attended the state University of Kansas, will gather in this city on that date to re-hash college years and to renew acquaintances.
Chancellor Strong of Kansas University and "Uncle" Jimmy Green, dean of the Kansas University law school, will make the principal addresses. Chancellor Strong needs no introduction to anyone in the southwest, and "Uncle" Jimmy will forever occupy a warm spot in the hearts of students.
The business meeting of the convention will be held in the afternoon, and will be followed by an auto ride. The convention will close at night with a banquet.
The officers of the association meet in Oklahoma City January 13, at which time final preparations for the meeting were made. H. G. McKeever, former county attorney of Garfield county, is president of the association
The following are members of the association living in Tulsa: George T. Brown, C. W. Butterworth, C. J. Hindman, John F. Kerrigan, Merl P. Springer, J. W.

BAKER DEFEATS AGGIES
Methodists Were On the Long End of a 33 to 19 Score
The Baker basket-ball toppers added one more defender to the Agglies list of three by a score of 33 to 19, Monday afternoon. The game was close and fast until the last few minutes of play when several difficult baskets at the hand of captain Listan cinched the larger score for Baker.
Much rough playing was indulged in throughout the entire contest. Captain Hehn was disqualified on account of roughness after the first fifteen minutes of play. Souders was the star for the Farmers.
The Baker men are playing a fast and aggressive game and hope to win the state championship and they have a good chance if the improvement continues as it has. "Shorty" Long of the University of Kansas referred the game.
